Is Realtime VPN Per-Tab Speed & IP Flag safe?

Clean risk

Realtime VPN Per-Tab Speed & IP Flag looks up your public IP and its location on every page you load.

On each page load the extension fetches your public IP address from ipify and geolocates it through third-party lookup services. Only the IP address is sent; the page URL and domain stay in local browser storage as a history.

Shared hosts - 10 hostnames

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.
