Is AliExpress Image Search & Supplier Finder - Thieve safe?

Low risk

AliExpress Image Search & Supplier Finder - Thieve lets websites read and change its synced settings.

The extension injects a page-accessible event bridge on all websites. Any page can use that bridge to request the extension's synced settings or overwrite those preferences, such as disabling supplier-finding options.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Same operator - 1 listing

Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.

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.
