Is Paperpile safe?
Import research papers and citations into a Paperpile reference library while you browse.
This extension works with a Paperpile account to collect citations and PDFs from publisher sites, research databases, Google Scholar, PubMed, ArXiv, and library catalogues. It supports one-click full-text PDF downloads, Google Drive syncing for papers, and adding citations and bibliographies in Google Docs. Its permissions allow it to work across websites, use browser tabs and menus, run scripts on pages, and store extension data.

Shared hosts - 15 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.
