Is VPN Master - Free HTTP and SOCKS Proxies safe?

Clean risk

VPN Master routes browser traffic through a random public proxy after the user enables proxy mode.

When the user turns on the extension's proxy mode, it fetches a proxy record from a configured proxy-list API and applies it to Chrome's proxy settings. Browser HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP traffic then goes through the selected public proxy until the setting is changed.

Shared hosts - 3 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.
