Is T-SWINDLER (additional features for TINDER) safe?

Low risk

T-SWINDLER sends your Tinder account ID and creation date to its backend.

When you use Tinder, the extension reads the Tinder profile API response and stores profile data locally. Its background worker encrypts your Tinder account identifier and account creation date with a bundled key, then posts the encrypted payload to the T-SWINDLER backend.

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.
