Is SeoQuake SEO extension safe?
SeoQuake SEO extension sends the domain and URL of every page visited to Semrush-owned API servers on all websites.
On each page load, the extension's content script triggers background requests that include the current page's domain and full URL in calls to bl.publicapi.semrush.com and seoquake.publicapi.semrush.com. These requests fire automatically across all HTTP and HTTPS sites with no user interaction required. The extension also ships a hardcoded OAuth client_secret in its source, which is transmitted during token exchanges with oauth.semrush.com.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 5 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.
