Is NowPlaying.Site Extension safe?

Clean risk

NowPlaying.Site Extension sends selected music playback details and a configured user ID to extension.nowplaying.site.

When the user selects a supported music or video tab, content scripts read playback metadata such as title, artist, progress, duration, URL, and cover art. The background worker adds the stored NowPlaying user ID and sends that JSON over a WebSocket to wss://extension.nowplaying.site/extension when playback data changes.

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.
