Is Shopify Spy & Dropshipping - Koala Inspector safe?

Medium risk

Koala Inspector sends page DOM and form input to OpenReplay while its in-page UI is open.

Koala Inspector's content script runs on all sites and can start an OpenReplay session recorder when its remote session recording flag is enabled and the Koala UI is open. That recorder is configured to capture page DOM, iframes, URLs, and non-password form input, including email fields, and sends session data to OpenReplay. A separate remote flag can inject a page-world script that keeps Koala's overlay from being removed or hidden and records the current site's host with the blocker action.

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.
