Is Ruffle - Flash Emulator safe?
Ruffle - Flash Emulator runs Flash content locally via WebAssembly and does not send browsing data to external servers.
The extension injects a content script on most pages to detect and replace legacy Flash embeds with its own WebAssembly-based player, allowing sites that still use Flash to function. All Flash execution happens locally; no URLs visited or page content are transmitted externally. A low-severity implementation issue allows page scripts on the same page to observe the internal postMessage session ID and redirect the Flash player to a URL of their choosing.

Shared hosts - 8 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.
