Is VStat 3 - visit statistics & website traffic safe?
VStat 3 sends active tab hostnames to vstat.info and uses remote jobs to collect traffic data for selected domains.
When you navigate between tabs or open the popup, VStat 3 extracts the current site hostname and sends it to vstat.info to look up visit statistics. The extension also fetches vendor-supplied jobs, uses your browser to request traffic data from SimilarWeb, SiteSimilar, or SimilarTech for selected domains, and posts the parsed results back to vstat.info or a job-provided response URL.

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