Is Social Fixer safe?
Social Fixer periodically retrieves Facebook friend-list metadata and saves it in extension storage.
When Friend Manager is enabled, Social Fixer calls Facebook's first-degree friend endpoint using the current Facebook user ID and fb_dtsg token to fetch friend entries. It stores each friend's ID, name, first and last name, photo URL, and tracking status locally in extension storage to monitor friend-list changes.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 3 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.
