Is ArchShield: Safe Search safe?

Low risk

ArchShield: Safe Search fetches a Blocklist Project list on every visited page before checking the page locally.

The extension injects a content script on all URLs and downloads a blocklist from blocklistproject.github.io before comparing the current page's domain locally. This means Blocklist Project can receive a network request, including normal request metadata such as IP address and headers, during page loads even when the site is not blocked.
