Is Translation Comparison safe?
Translation Comparison sends selected webpage text to Google, Microsoft, or ImTranslator for translation.
Translation Comparison injects a content script on websites to read highlighted text after a mouseup event and stores that selection for its comparison page. When the user requests translation, the selected text is sent to the configured translation provider as part of the translation request.

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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Translation Comparison contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
