Is WebScannerPro – Online Privacy Essentials safe?
WebScannerPro sends subscribed users' visited site hosts and search-result domains to its safety-check API.
When a subscribed user opens an HTTP or HTTPS page, WebScannerPro extracts the page's hostname and requests a safety check from api.webscanner.pro with the user's bearer token. On supported search engines, its content scripts also send result URLs through the background script so the result hostnames can be checked by the same API.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 6 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.
