Is Instant Dictionary by GoodWordGuide.com safe?

Clean risk

Instant Dictionary sends selected or typed lookup terms to GoodWordGuide for definitions.

Instant Dictionary runs a content script on most websites so it can show a definition popup when you select, double-click, or enter a word or phrase. The selected or typed term is sent to GoodWordGuide's definition API, and the returned dictionary results are displayed in the extension popup.
