Is Netflix Bilingual Subtitles safe?
Netflix Bilingual Subtitles exposes its stored user token to scripts running on Netflix pages.
When its Netflix content script runs, it injects the subtitle script and answers a page message by reading browser storage values including userId and userToken. It posts those values back to the page with targetOrigin '*', so other scripts on the same Netflix page can listen for the stored user token.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 2 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.
