Is Article Galaxy Browser Extension safe?

Low risk

Article Galaxy Browser Extension scans pages for article identifiers and sends page details to its backend.

Article Galaxy Browser Extension runs on every site and injects its article-ordering widget into the page. The widget checks page content for article identifiers such as DOIs, loads Google Tag Manager in the page context, and sends the page URL, hostname, detected citation data, and persistent bk/sso identifiers to Article Galaxy's backend.
