Is Purple Ads Blocker safe?
Purple Ads Blocker injects code into Twitch pages to intercept and rewrite Twitch video playlist requests.
On Twitch pages, Purple Ads Blocker injects its bundled script and hooks browser requests involved in Twitch video playback. The injected code handles Twitch GraphQL and HLS playlist requests, reads extension ad-block settings from local storage through a page message, and rewrites playlists to remove ad segments.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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.
