Is Price tracker - Otsledit safe?
Price tracker - Otsledit rewrites merchant links you click with its own affiliate parameter for free-tier users.
When you click a price-alert notification or a tracked-product link, the extension checks the URL against a pattern list it fetches from otsledit.net/links every few hours, then appends or substitutes the vendor's own affiliate tag before opening the page. This rewrite is applied only when the server's ads flag is on and your account isn't a paying subscriber; the extension also strips any pre-existing Amazon Associates-style tag from a saved link so its own tag can be reinserted later.

Otsledit - no other listings under this identity, 10 shared hostnames
What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 10 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.
