Is InstantGPT - ChatGPT Powered Assistant safe?

When you enter a chat prompt in the popup, the extension sends that prompt to OpenAI using the API key stored in extension settings. When you use the Summarize context-menu item, it sends the selected page text to the same OpenAI completions endpoint.
