Is Spoof Geolocation safe?
Spoof Geolocation exposes stored spoofed location settings to any website and accepts unchecked location updates on its setup page.
Spoof Geolocation injects scripts on all pages that let page scripts request the extension's stored latitude, longitude, accuracy, enabled, randomize, and bypass settings through DOM events. On its webbrowsertools.com setup page, any window message with the expected method can overwrite the stored spoofed coordinates without checking the sender origin.

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.
