Is transparent background maker safe?
Transparent Background Maker sends any cookie named r_token, from any site, plus a persistent ID to bot.izibit.net.
The extension replaces the new-tab page with an embedded background-removal tool. A background worker watches cookie changes on all sites for a cookie named r_token, and the new-tab page posts its value with a stored unique ID to bot.izibit.net. The cookie name is not limited to the tool's own domain.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
5 other listings published from this account, 7k+ users between them. 2 of them carry a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
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.
