Is Useful Forks safe?

Clean risk

Adds a button on GitHub repositories to find useful forks with an online scanning tool.

When you visit a GitHub repository, the extension inserts a button next to the Fork button. Clicking it opens a new tab that uses an online tool to scan forks and filter out forks with no activity on the main branch after creation. Results can be exported as CSV or shared with a quick-link URL.

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.
