Is Translate Selected Text safe?
Translate Selected Text sends selected page text to Google Translate when you use its context-menu translation item.
When you select text on a page and click one of the extension's translation context-menu items, it builds a translate.google.com URL with the selected text in the text query parameter and opens it in a tab or popup. The extension does not automatically read pages through content scripts, but the selected text you choose to translate is sent to Google Translate.

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.
