Is VHelper safe?
VHelper sends Amazon Vine listing details from Vine pages to its API servers.
When you load Amazon Vine pages, VHelper extracts listed products' ASINs, titles, thumbnails, queue details, enrollment IDs, and page context, then posts that data with persistent extension identifiers to VHelper's API. It also generates a browser/device fingerprint from screen, language, canvas, WebGL, and font signals and uploads the resulting fingerprint hash with the same identifiers.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 4.5.0. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
