Is RedNote Downloader safe?
RedNote Downloader sends downloaded RedNote media IDs, your public IP, client ID, and device details to Google Analytics.
When you download media from Xiaohongshu or RedNote, the extension logs the download to Google Analytics with the media ID, media owner ID, media type, and format. It also includes a persistent client ID from extension storage, your public IP fetched from api.ipify.org, and device details collected from its offscreen document.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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.
