Is Pixel Helper for LinkedIn safe?
Pixel Helper for LinkedIn detects LinkedIn ad pixel requests on visited pages and records their partner IDs locally.
When a page loads a request to px.ads.linkedin.com, the extension parses the request URL for the LinkedIn partner ID and sends that ID to its content script for the current tab. It stores the IDs for that page, updates the badge count, and shows the partner IDs in the popup for the active tab.

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.
