Is Lucky PDF Converter safe?
Lucky PDF Converter's new tab page routes its 'coupons' and 'recommended' shortcuts to BeFrugal through a hardcoded affiliate link.
The extension's new tab page shows shortcut icons alongside ordinary ones like Wikipedia and CNN. Two of them, labeled as a coupon shortcut and a 'recommended' link, open BeFrugal.com through a URL that carries the vendor's own affiliate referral code, so BeFrugal pays a commission on resulting signups or purchases. The paid relationship isn't disclosed to the user in the new tab UI.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
2 other listings published from this account, 30k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Lucky PDF Converter contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
