Is Manga Translator safe?
Manga Translator sends your Google account email, page URL and image URL to Alibaba Cloud ARMS on each image translation.
When you translate a manga image, the extension reads your Google profile email and reports it with the current page URL and the translated image URL to an Alibaba Cloud monitoring endpoint. The data is sent as an image-request beacon from a content-script logger.

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 Manga Translator 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.
