Is Online Dictionary Helper safe?
Online Dictionary Helper fetches selected dictionary scripts from GitHub or custom URLs and runs them in its sandbox.
When cloud dictionaries or user-defined scripts are enabled, Online Dictionary Helper saves those script names in its settings, fetches the matching JavaScript, and evaluates it in the extension sandbox. Built-in cloud script names are loaded from raw.githubusercontent.com, while full custom URLs can also be used if entered in the extension options.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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 Online Dictionary Helper 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.
