Is AI Site Cloner - Clone any Website in One Click, Powered by step1.dev safe?

Low risk

AI Site Cloner exposes saved clone content and screenshots to any page whose host contains step1.dev.

The content script runs on all sites and mounts a page API on hosts whose hostname contains step1.dev instead of requiring an exact origin. Those pages can list saved clone records and read stored HTML content, screenshots, URLs, and page titles; the same bridge can also open a new tab to a caller-supplied URL during onboarding.
