Is Watchmarker for Youtube safe?
Marks watched YouTube videos using a saved watch history beyond YouTube’s recent-history markers.
This extension keeps track of your YouTube watch history so videos you have already watched can remain marked, not just recently viewed ones. It includes export and import features for backing up the saved history, and settings for manually starting a more complete synchronization. Its permissions apply to youtube.com and m.youtube.com, with access to browser history, cookies, tabs, storage, scripting, and web request controls.

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.
