Is Xdebug Helper for Firefox safe?

Clean risk

Enables and disables Xdebug debugging, profiling, and tracing from the browser.

This extension helps PHP developers toggle Xdebug modes without manually changing POST/GET variables or cookies. It supports workflows with Xdebug-compatible IDEs and profiling tools, and its icon can be configured to appear only on selected pages. A keyboard shortcut, Alt+Shift+X, toggles debug status.

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.
