Is Alexa-and-similarWeb-rank safe?
Alexa-and-similarWeb-rank sends the active tab hostname through a CORS proxy to fetch site rankings.
When you open the popup, the extension reads the hostname of the current tab. It sends that hostname to cors.smlpoints.workers.dev, which proxies requests to Alexa and SimilarWeb ranking APIs.
