Is Goodreads Right Click safe?

Medium risk

Goodreads Right Click sends selected page text to Goodreads as a plaintext HTTP search query.

When you use the extension's context-menu search, it reads the text you selected on the page and opens a Goodreads search for that text. The selected text is placed directly in a query URL using http://www.goodreads.com/search rather than HTTPS.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Goodreads Right Click contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
