Is UrlTool safe?

Low risk

UrlTool sends the active tab's URL to ksurl.cn when you click its short-link button.

UrlTool is a popup tool that shortens the current page's address using the Kuaishou short-URL service, and only does so when the user clicks the button. The popup also bundles a Kuaishou analytics SDK that sends usage, performance and error events to Kuaishou logging servers whenever the popup opens. It has no background or content scripts, so it does not monitor browsing outside the popup.

Shared hosts - 3 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.

Where it sends data
