Is LiChess Tools, by Siderite safe?
LiChess Tools uploads pasted or dropped Lichess inbox and profile images to api.imgbb.com for hosted image links.
The paste-image option is enabled by default for Lichess chat/forum/blog settings. On Lichess inbox and profile fields, it reads image files from paste or drop events, converts them to base64, sends them to api.imgbb.com/1/upload, and inserts the returned hosted URL into the text field.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 21 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.
