Is Xdebug Helper safe?

Clean risk

Quickly toggles Xdebug debugging, profiling, and tracing for PHP development.

This extension provides a browser toolbar control for enabling or disabling Xdebug debugging, profiling, and tracing without manually changing POST/GET parameters or cookies. It supports common Xdebug-compatible tools such as PHPStorm, Eclipse with PDT, Netbeans, MacGDBp, KCacheGrind, WinCacheGrind, and Webgrind, and includes hotkeys for opening the popup and toggling debugging.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

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.
