Is Self-Citations Checker safe?
This extension adds self-citation rate estimates to Google Scholar author profile statistics.
It adds a “Self-Citation Rate” column on Google Scholar author pages and calculates the percentage when a profile is opened. It uses DBLP, DBLP-OpenCitations, and OpenAlex data, and includes a refresh button to clear cached results and recalculate.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 1k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
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.
