Is SaveMate - Video Downloader safe?
SaveMate - Video Downloader scans all sites for media URLs and stores page context and request headers for downloads.
SaveMate - Video Downloader runs on every site and looks through page elements for video, audio, source, and link URLs. Its background script also watches browser network responses for media and manifest files, then stores the media URL, page URL or title, tab metadata, and selected request headers locally for the popup and download workflow.

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.
