Is LeechBlock NG safe?
LeechBlock NG reads browsing details locally to enforce user-configured site blocking rules.
LeechBlock NG runs on all sites so it can compare the current page against the user's blocking schedules, URL patterns, and time limits. It uses URLs, referrers, tab activity, and, when keyword rules are enabled, page title/body text for local blocking decisions; the available evidence does not show those browsing details being sent to a fixed remote endpoint.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.7.2. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to. The current listed version is 1.7.3, which we have not unpacked yet.
