Is Knockoff - Amazon Shopping Filter safe?
Knockoff - Amazon Brand Filter fetches remote brand lists and sends user-submitted Amazon product reports to its API.
On Amazon pages, the extension downloads brand and flagged-brand lists from api.knockoff.shopping and uses them to dim, hide, or label product listings. If you click its report option on a flagged listing, it posts product context including brand, suggested label, verdict, ASIN, marketplace hostname, extension version, title, and reason to the same service.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
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.
