Is Open in VLC media player safe?
Send online video and audio links from the browser to VLC media player.
This extension adds context menu and toolbar options for opening detected media links in VLC media player. If multiple media links are found, it prompts you to choose which links to send, and it requires a native client application to pass links to VLC. It also includes a context-menu tool that joins media files into a WAV file.

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.
