Is SocialFocus — Hide Feeds, Block Shorts & Remove Distractions safe?
SocialFocus fetches server-controlled CSS selectors from untrap.app and applies them to social media pages without integrity validation.
Each time the popup opens, the extension contacts untrap.app to download updated CSS selector rules for up to 15 social media sites. These rules are stored locally and applied to page content without any allowlist check or integrity verification, meaning the server can alter which elements are hidden or shown on those sites. The full settings list is also fetched from the same server on first load.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
2 other listings published from this account, 102k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 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.

Where it sends data
