Is qTest Web Explorer safe?
qTest Web Explorer lets web pages trigger recording commands that send page details and screenshots to a configured qTest API.
qTest Web Explorer installs a content script on file, HTTP, and HTTPS pages and listens for page messages that can drive its recording commands during an active session. Those commands can include the current page URL and title, capture a visible-tab screenshot, and upload the screen metadata and JPEG image to the configured qTest API.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
2 other listings published from this account, 70k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed qTest Web Explorer 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.
