Is Something Awful Last Read Redux safe?
Something Awful Last Read Redux can replace Vine links with embedded Vine content on forum thread pages.
When the optional Vine inlining setting is enabled, the extension runs on Something Awful forum thread pages and rewrites Vine post links inside forum posts into embedded iframes. Those embeds also load Vine's platform script from platform.vine.co so the Vine content can render in the page.

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.
