Is Open SEO Stats(Formerly: PageRank Status) safe?
Open SEO Stats sends the active tab's host and SEO history to history.openadmintools.com when the popup opens.
When you open the popup, the extension reads the current tab's URL and host, keeps a persistent extension UID, and sends the host, saved user ID, screen size, and SEO history details to history.openadmintools.com. Its SEO index checks also query search engines such as Baidu, Bing, Sogou, and Yahoo with the active site's host to fetch index counts.

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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Open SEO Stats 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.
