Is Mine Finder safe?
Mine Finder sends popup usage events to Google Analytics with a persistent extension client ID.
When you open the Mine Finder popup, it sends a Google Analytics page_view event from the extension page. The event includes a persistent random client ID stored by the extension, the popup title and chrome-extension:// page URL, and session timing data; the recorded claim says this is limited to popup activity, not website browsing.

Same store account
2 other listings published from this account, 2k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
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 Mine Finder 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.
