Is Urban Shield safe?
Urban Shield lets any HTTP or HTTPS page persistently mute its safe-check warnings for that tab's domain.
Urban Shield injects a page-visible message bridge into HTTP and HTTPS pages, and the background script forwards requested events without checking the page origin. A page can use that bridge to mute safe-check notifications for the current tab and persist the muted state for the domain; the same bridge can also navigate the current tab to a blank safe page.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 6 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.
