It is advertised as being ETL certified, which is an NRTL (like UL) that is run by ITS.

Many arguments exist about whether UL or ETL is "better," but they are both certified testing laboratories and confirm that a product meets certain standards. (the big difference is that UL actually writes those standards, whereas ETL tends to just use them for testing)
Checking ETL's site, this brand/model is listed in the pictures (Lvetek QF-519F):
https://ramuk.intertekc
Important extract from the above webpage:
"Current taps with class 2 power unit, Model Nos. ...QF-519F..."
"A representative sample of the listed devices have been tested, investigated and found to comply with the requirements of the Standard(s) for Current Taps & Adapters (UL-498A) and are identified with the ETL Listed Mark."
Of course, all of that is assuming that the brand/model listed is genuine (fake products are fake, after all!), but that's always an issue, so YMMV.
One thing to note in the listing is that all of the USB ports are limited to 5V only, so no quick charging is supported. From the Amazon listing:
"USB Port Output: DC 5V, Total 4.8A (although this picture shows 4.2A max)
The UCB-C port doesn't support any other devices which need 9~22V charging voltage."

There's a 1-star review that suggests that maybe "ETL Certified" doesn't, in this case, mean what you think it means. Curious how the listing mentions "ETL Certified" :-) "After Sale Service: ETL Certified，Our friendly and reliable customer service will respond to you within 24 hours."

So, today when my wife plugged in her laptop there was a loud pop and a large amount of sparks from the outlet for about 2-3 seconds before the house breaker tripped. I took the unit off the wall and took it apart and found that the side outlets are basically plastic rails that are not held onto the plastic side very well at all. In these plastic rails runs a thin copper strip for each of the hot, neutral and ground. At the point where the blades of a plug are supposed to mate with the outlet the copper strip is split and formed into a rough shape of the plug blade. Unfortunately, as loose as the copper strips are if you put a plug in at a slight angle you will miss the split in the strip that the blade is supposed to go through and hit the outside of it, flexing it enough that the internal components can touch (in this case, hot to ground) causing arcing and a short. I would not use one of these - choose a better option!
and google already has everything

UL doesn't test to see if it meets a certain standard. UL tests to see what makes the product fail. UL stands for Underwriters Laboratories. They find the failure conditions of products so that, should the product fail and you make an insurance claim, insurance can decide who was at fault if a particular product is found to have caused the claim. If it was within the range that wouldn't typically cause catastrophic failure, then the product was faulty and it was the manufacturer's fault. If you used it beyond its capabilities, like plugging too many space heaters into one outlet, then they know it was your fault. Fun fact: they actually send everyone an email if they're going to blow something up so the office people can come and watch. Sauce: I have a few friends that worked there. It's basically an entire company of pyros.

Well sure. How else are they supposed to get your Wi-Fi password so the outlet camera can send the video to them?

Bought several long time ago. Like. Luv the extra plugs, added Cat4/5 plugs. CAVET - Will not plug into a GFCI outlets. My bathroom and kitchen counter outlet are GFCI.
I have used this on the 'down' side of the bathroom and kitchen GFCI outlets. YMMV . . Caution . . Don't if you do not know what this means. IMHO

Yep enjoy frying your house and components over a $10 plug extender!
