Is Focus Reader - Clean Reading Mode safe?

Clean risk

Focus Reader sends activation and saved-article domains to PostHog analytics by default.

When you activate reader mode or save an article, Focus Reader records the page domain with related reader settings or reading time. The analytics setting defaults to on and sends those events to PostHog for pages where you use the extension, not every page you browse.
