Is ArrowDL - Arrow Downloader safe?

Clean risk

ArrowDL - Arrow Downloader sends selected page, link, and media URLs to its local native host when you use its controls.

When you use the extension popup or context menu, ArrowDL - Arrow Downloader reads the current page URL and can collect link and image URLs from the active tab. It passes those URLs to the local native messaging host com.arrowdl.extension so the desktop downloader can receive the selected download targets.
