Is Similar Inc | Shopping Comparison Co-Pilot safe?
Similar Inc | Shopping Comparison Co-Pilot sends a persistent user ID and non-product page URLs to Similar Inc.
The extension runs content scripts on HTTPS pages and creates or reuses a stored user ID. When a page is not handled as a product page, it posts a GenericPageView event that includes the user ID, site hostname, current page URL, and browser metadata such as language, platform, cookie support, and privacy-mode status.

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