Is Prolific Assistant safe?
Monitors Prolific for new studies and alerts you when studies are available.
This extension checks https://www.prolific.com/ for new studies and shows the number available on its toolbar icon. It can send desktop notifications, play a configurable alert sound, and show the last time studies were checked.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same operator - 1 listing
Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.
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.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Prolific Assistant contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
