Is WebRTC Leak Shield safe?

Clean risk

Disables WebRTC settings to help prevent WebRTC-related IP exposure in the browser.

This extension changes the browser’s WebRTC privacy settings to prevent WebRTC IP leak behavior described by the developer. It stores its configuration and current on/off state, and the description says other extensions such as VPN extensions can use its functionality.

Same store account

1 other listing published from this account, 700k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.

Same operator - 1 listing

Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.

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.
