Is Broken Link Checker safe?

Clean risk

Broken Link Checker reads links from the active tab and requests each URL when you run its link check.

When you open the extension's popup, it can collect anchor links and frame locations from the current tab. It then sends GET requests to the discovered URLs to check whether they are reachable, and deep-search settings may request same-domain pages to parse more links.
