Is MetricMaster safe?
MetricMaster sends searches typed on its new tab page to meter.metermaster-ext.com with a fixed tracking ID.
MetricMaster replaces Chrome's new tab page with its own unit-conversion and search page. When you submit a search from that page, it redirects the browser to meter.metermaster-ext.com with your query in the q parameter and tid=990304.

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.
