Is ScamAdviser safe?
ScamAdviser sends each visited site's host to proxyapi.scamadviser.com for reputation checks.
ScamAdviser runs on every webpage, reads the current page origin, and asks its background worker to check the site's host. The background worker sends that host to ScamAdviser's API during page loads and tab activation or update events.

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.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 2.1.0. 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 ScamAdviser 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.
