Is Listen Notes for Chrome - podcast search safe?
Listen Notes for Chrome sends each active HTTP(S) tab hostname to Listen Notes for podcast suggestions.
When you switch tabs or a tab URL changes, the background worker checks HTTP(S) pages and sends the current page's hostname to Listen Notes. The hostname is used to ask whether podcast channels exist for that domain and update the extension badge.

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.
