Is Urban AdBlocker safe?

Medium risk

Urban AdBlocker sends URLs, page titles, referrers, and request metadata from visited pages to Urban VPN.

Urban AdBlocker runs on all HTTP and HTTPS pages and records navigation details from main frames and subframes. The data can include URLs, page titles, referrers, request and response metadata, tab and frame identifiers, browser and OS details, and persistent Urban VPN identifiers, then it posts the safety-check payload to Urban VPN's anti-phishing service.

Shared hosts - 8 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.
