Is Read News with TTS safe?

Clean risk

Read News with TTS sends the active tab URL to a selected reader/TTS service when you click a popup option.

When you choose one of the popup buttons, the extension reads the current tab URL and opens a new tab on the selected reader/TTS site. The original page URL is embedded in that site's /article/ URL so the service can load the article for text-to-speech reading.

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.
