Is Avira Browser Safety safe?

Avira Browser Safety transmits every visited URL to Avira's classification API and can execute server-supplied JavaScript on shopping sites.

On each page navigation, the extension sends the full URL to v2.auc.avira.com along with a persistent per-user GUID generated at install time. When the Offers feature is enabled, the extension fetches scraping instructions from offers.avira.com and injects the returned JavaScript expressions directly into the page, executing them in the page context with no integrity verification. Every six hours, the extension also reports installed Avira sibling extensions, user settings, and an AIMS account identifier to Mixpanel, including the user's IP address.
