Is Milanote Web Clipper safe?
Milanote Web Clipper sends clipped selections and page, link, and image URLs to Milanote when you save web content.
Its content scripts run on most websites, but the saved data is built from user clipping actions such as selected text, page clips, links, and images. When you save a clip, it posts the selected text plus the page URL or the chosen link/image URL to Milanote API endpoints using the stored Milanote bearer token. Link metadata extraction also sends the chosen URL to Milanote's upload service.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 3 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.
