Is Turn Off the Lights for Firefox safe?
Turn Off the Lights for Firefox dims video backgrounds and injects night-mode styles across all pages, with a link-click handler that lets any visited page overwrite the extension's color settings.
The extension is a video-dimming utility that darkens the area around embedded video players and applies customizable night-mode colors to every page you visit. Its content script runs on all URLs and listens for anchor clicks using the turnoffthelights:// scheme, which — if triggered by a link on any page — writes color values directly to chrome.storage.sync without verifying the page's origin. No user data is collected or transmitted externally.

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.
