Is Readeon: A Patreon Reading Extension safe?
Readeon sends selected Patreon post content to its Koyeb backend when creating an EPUB.
When a user selects Patreon posts and chooses the EPUB download option, the extension posts the selected content and generated title and author fields to diplomatic-adelina-readeon-f63fb2a8.koyeb.app/api/download/epub. The backend returns a blob that the extension saves locally as the EPUB file.

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, 32k+ users between them. 2 of them carry 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.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.0.15. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Readeon: A Patreon Reading Extension 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.
