Is Mendeley Web Importer safe?
Imports article metadata and available PDFs from web pages into a Mendeley library.
This extension analyzes an article page or reference list when you click its toolbar icon. It retrieves details such as title and authors, and PDF full texts where available, so you can add them to your Mendeley library. A Mendeley account is used to save, read, and cite imported articles.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same operator - 1 listing
Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.
Shared hosts - 7 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.
