Is Privacy Badger safe?
Sends privacy preference signals and learns to block trackers that ignore them.
This extension sends Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals as you browse. It can learn to block trackers that ignore those signals, replace some tracker-based widgets with click-to-activate placeholders, and remove outgoing link click tracking on Facebook and Google.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 6 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.
