Is WebChatGPT: ChatGPT with internet access safe?
WebChatGPT inserts sponsored results into Google search pages and reports displayed ad references to api.phtracker.com.
When Google search pages already show ad blocks, the extension adds a sponsored-looking result for MaxAI, SimplyTrends, or ZMO from a phtracker link. After the inserted result is shown, it sends the ad reference and timestamp to api.phtracker.com/app/ref_count.

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.
