Is Video Downloader - Video Hunter safe?
Video Downloader - Video Hunter sends every TikTok URL you visit to third-party download services without requiring user action.
When you navigate to a TikTok page, the extension's background script automatically forwards the URL to tikwm.com and tiktokjs-downloader.vercel.app in order to resolve a downloadable video link. This happens on tab creation and tab update events, not only when you click a download button. The extension also sends an install-time analytics event to Google Analytics, gated by Firefox data collection permissions.

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.
