Is TinyURL safe?
TinyURL sends URLs you shorten from the active tab, page links, or clipboard to TinyURL or is.gd.
When you click the toolbar button or context menu, the extension reads the relevant page, link, or selected URL and submits it to the configured shortening service. It can also read a URL from the clipboard for shortening, then writes the returned shortened URL back to the clipboard.

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

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 2026.7.27. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
