Is User-Agent Switcher for Chrome safe?

Clean risk

This extension lets you switch the browser user-agent string while browsing.

It provides quick switching between different user-agent strings, such as mobile and desktop browser identifiers. You can also set specific URLs to use a chosen spoofed user-agent each time, and the description notes it intercepts and modifies data communicated to servers to do this.

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.
