Is DontBugMe safe?

Medium risk

DontBugMe sends the active site's hostname to analytics and queries BugMeNot for shared credentials.

When you open the popup, DontBugMe reads the active tab's hostname and posts a Plausible open event with that site to a.vantezzen.io. It also requests BugMeNot over HTTP for that hostname, parses returned username and password entries, can fill a selected credential into the page, and sends site/account vote data back to bugmenot.com.
