Is Web Scrobbler safe?

Clean risk

Web Scrobbler sends detected song details and origin URLs to ListenBrainz when ListenBrainz scrobbling is enabled.

On supported music sites, Web Scrobbler detects the current song and sends now-playing or scrobble messages to its background service. For ListenBrainz, the background code POSTs artist, track, album, service name, origin URL, and duration to api.listenbrainz.org/1/submit-listens using the user's ListenBrainz token.

Shared hosts - 2 hostnames

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
