Is Take Webpage Screenshots Entirely - FireShot safe?
Captures full-page, visible-area, or selected webpage screenshots and saves them as PDF, PNG, or JPEG.
It captures entire pages, the visible area, selections, all tabs, or a list of URLs, then lets you save, copy, print, or attach screenshots to Gmail. The description says screenshots are done and stored locally and that the extension can work offline. An upgrade adds editing, specific element capture, more export formats, and sending or uploading to services such as OneNote, Twitter, ImageShack, Flickr, EasyCaptures, FTP, or HTTP servers.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 3 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.
