Is Publisher Debug safe?

Low risk

Publisher Debug lets any website ask the extension to open a URL in a new tab.

Publisher Debug runs a content script on every HTTP and HTTPS page and accepts page messages marked as BRIDGE without checking the page origin. If a page sends an openTab message with a URL, the extension forwards it to the background worker, which opens that URL in a new browser tab.

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.
