Is M3U8 Downloader Pro safe?
M3U8 Downloader Pro captures request headers from browsing and can replay them to m3u8.dev download pages.
By default, its background service listens to outgoing requests across sites and stores request headers tied to domains, which can include cookies, authorization headers, referrers, and URLs. The extension then uses those saved headers when setting download and playback rules for m3u8.dev and pro.m3u8.dev so those media requests can be made with the captured context.

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.
