Is Shodan.io (DEPRECATED) safe?
Shodan.io (DEPRECATED) sends each visited website hostname to Shodan lookup APIs.
When a tab is activated or updated, the background script extracts the hostname from HTTP(S) pages and sends it to Shodan's DNS resolve API. It then sends the resolved IP address to Shodan's host lookup API, with a hardcoded Shodan API key included in both request URLs.
