Is Waldo – Search like a pro. safe?
Waldo lets RPC callers fetch pages with your cookies and return page contents.
Waldo exposes RPC commands to Waldo or localhost origins and its Pusher bridge that can fetch caller-supplied URLs using the browser's cookies, headers, and body values, then return response text or JSON. The same channel can open hidden tabs, automate clicks and text entry, scrape selected page content, and capture screenshots for return to the requester.

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.
