Is Speed Booster for ChatGPT – Fix Lag & Freezing in Long Chats safe?
Speed Booster for ChatGPT modifies the ChatGPT page to reduce lag and transmits license keys to Freemius in URL query parameters.
The extension injects scripts into ChatGPT pages to limit visible message history and restore scroll position, reducing browser memory use and lag in long conversations. It integrates with the Freemius licensing platform for paid features, sending the license key as a plaintext query parameter in both activation and validation requests to api.freemius.com. The extension also writes its own runtime ID to the page DOM, where any script running on the ChatGPT page can read it.

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.
