Is Newsletter PDF Downloader - Export Substack, Medium, Beehiiv, Ghost to PDF safe?
Newsletter PDF Downloader sends the rendered article page and its URL to its own cloud backend to create a PDF.
When you click the injected download button on a supported newsletter site (Substack, Medium, Beehiiv, Ghost, Patreon), the extension sends the page's HTML, including paywalled content visible to you, and the page URL to the vendor's backend, along with a persistent random client ID. The backend returns a PDF, which the extension saves through the browser's downloads. It also checks a quota endpoint on the same service.

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.
