Is Power Thesaurus safe?
Power Thesaurus sends the current site origin to its API and shares selected iframe text with embedding pages.
When a signed-in user browses, the extension's all-sites content script reports the current site's origin to Power Thesaurus at api.powerthesaurus.org/graphql/web. Its iframe selection bridge also posts selected text and selection geometry from iframes to the parent page using targetOrigin '*', so pages embedding that frame can read the selection message.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 3 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.
