Is VPN Free - Betternet VPN Proxy safe?
VPN Free - Betternet VPN Proxy runs remote-configured coupon automation on merchant pages.
VPN Free - Betternet VPN Proxy injects a content script on all pages, then downloads merchant and coupon automation rules from Pango/Besttoolbars endpoints. When a visited site matches the remote merchant configuration, the coupon engine can read configured page content, cookies, local storage, and form data, and can make configured browser-side requests.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 7 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.
