Is Screen Shot safe?
Screen Shot uploads user-shared screenshots to Imgur with filenames derived from the page title or URL.
When a user captures a page and chooses the built-in share option, Screen Shot sends the captured image to Imgur as a base64 upload. The upload includes a name derived from the page title or page URL, so the shared image request can include page-identifying information.

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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Screen Shot 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.
