Is WikiTree Sourcer safe?
WikiTree Sourcer sends genealogy record IDs and the current page URL to plus.wikitree.com for match lookups.
When page modifications are enabled by default on FamilySearch or Find a Grave pages, the extension requests WikiTree match data from plus.wikitree.com. Those requests include FamilySearch or Find a Grave record identifiers and the current page URL as a referrer so the extension can render WikiTree icons.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 18 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
Destinations our analysis observed WikiTree Sourcer 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.
