Is Total Defense Traffic Light safe?
Total Defense Traffic Light sends every URL you visit and search result links to Bitdefender Nimbus cloud for threat classification.
On each page navigation and tab update, the extension transmits the visited URL to nimbus.bitdefender.net for malware and phishing verdict lookup. On recognized search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo), it also batch-sends all result link URLs to a separate Nimbus endpoint for threat rating. Detected-phishing pages trigger an additional report to Bitdefender including the page URL and matched rule name.

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.
