Is Freename Web3 Extension safe?
Freename Web3 Extension sends top-level website hostnames to Freename resolver APIs as you browse.
When you navigate to a page, the extension's background request handler reads the destination hostname and checks it against Freename resolver services. Those lookups happen for broad top-level browsing across HTTP and HTTPS sites before the extension knows whether the hostname is a Web3 domain, with a short local cache limiting repeats.
