Is Turn Off the Lights safe?

Clean risk

Turn Off the Lights stores per-page light-off engagement history keyed by full page URL in Chrome sync storage.

When its dimming overlay is used on a page, the content script tracks how long the overlay stays active and records that duration under the current full URL. The data is kept in Chrome sync storage along with daily engagement counters, and this analytics setting defaults on unless the user changes it.

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.
