Is Text to Speech for Google Chrome™ safe?

Clean risk

This extension reads selected web page text aloud through a right-click text-to-speech option.

After installation, you highlight text on a page, right-click, and choose the extension’s text-to-speech command to hear the text read aloud. It offers multiple accents and languages, with options to configure the voice and reading speed on its settings page.

Shared hosts - 2 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.
