Is Enable local file links safe?

Clean risk

This extension lets you open local file links in Chrome by clicking them.

It enables Chrome to open links that point to local files, which Chrome normally disables. Starting with Chrome 118, users need to turn on “Allow access to file URLs” for the extension. The store description says it reacts only to user click operations and does not collect or use personal information.
