Is Freedom - Website Blocker for Chrome safe?

Clean risk

Freedom - Website Blocker for Chrome redirects blocked pages to blocked.freedom.to with the original URL in the query string.

When a site matches its remote block rules, the extension creates a redirect rule that sends the navigation to Freedom's hosted block page. That redirect includes the full original page URL as the url query parameter, so blocked.freedom.to receives the address of the blocked page.
