Is Qualys Browser Recorder safe?
Qualys Browser Recorder captures form values and page actions from all sites while recorder mode is active.
When recorder mode is started from the extension panel, content scripts on all sites record input and textarea changes, including password fields, along with page details such as URL, title, DOM context, and UI actions. The recorded data is sent through extension messages back to the recorder panel for playback.

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.
