Is Ambient Aurea for Google Chrome safe?

Clean risk

Ambient Aurea records clicked image URLs from every site it runs on into Chrome sync storage.

Ambient Aurea injects a content script on all websites and listens for mouse-down events. When the clicked page element has an image source URL, the extension sends that URL to its background script and stores it as getimgurl in chrome.storage.sync.
