Is Wattspeed safe?
Wattspeed sends the active tab URL to api.wattspeed.com when you run page audits from its popup.
When you open Wattspeed's popup on a page, it reads the active tab URL and uses it in POST requests for technology, performance, accessibility, mobile, security, and related audits. The requests go to Wattspeed's extlighthouse API, and the extension caches responses locally by the page 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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Wattspeed contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
