Is PaperPanda 2 safe?
PaperPanda 2 reads the active page for a DOI and opens an Anna's Archive search when you click its popup button.
When you click the popup button, PaperPanda 2 scans the current tab URL and page HTML for a DOI in metadata, attributes, or publisher page markup. It then opens the configured paper search URL, defaulting to Anna's Archive, with the DOI appended.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 4 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.
