Is Hero Citation Generator safe?

Clean risk

Hero Citation Generator sends citation URLs and manually entered citation form fields to plagiarismcheckerx.com.

When a user creates a citation from the sidebar, the extension serializes the citation form, including the entered URL, citation style, category, and manually edited fields such as author names, titles, DOI or URL fields, publisher, and dates. It posts that form data to plagiarismcheckerx.com/cite-maker-api?api=1 after the user presses the create-citation buttons, rather than automatically collecting data from websites.
