Is Pinterest Downloader & Image Search safe?
Pinterest Downloader adds an image-search button to pages and sends the clicked image URL to api.search-by-image.ru.
The extension places a search button over images on most https pages. When you click it, the image URL is sent to api.search-by-image.ru, and results are shown as affiliate links. It also ships Admitad API credentials in its background script, used to request affiliate API tokens from api.admitad.com.

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.
