Is JOSM Strava Heatmap safe?

Clean risk

Opens Strava Global Heatmap imagery in JOSM with the needed URL and cookie header values.

This extension gathers the Strava Heatmap URL and relevant cookie values after you sign in on strava.com/heatmap. It provides an Open in JOSM button for use with JOSM Remote Control, and also exposes the raw URL pattern and cookie header strings for mapping apps that support custom TMS cookie headers.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
