Is Distract Me Not (website blocker) safe?

Clean risk

Distract Me Not records visited URLs and block decisions in local trace logs when the user enables logging.

Distract Me Not checks browser requests against the user's blocking rules to decide whether a site should be blocked. If the user turns on trace logs, it saves each checked URL, whether it was blocked, and a timestamp in the extension's local browser storage, trimming the list to the configured log length.
