Is Lead Finder - Email Hunter safe?

Clean risk

Lead Finder - Email Hunter scrapes email addresses off every page you visit and stores them locally.

On every tab that finishes loading, the extension's content script scans the page text and HTML for email-address patterns and reports any matches back to the background service worker, which saves them to the extension's local storage. This runs by default on every site (opt-out only, via an unchecked 'Collect Emails' box in the popup) and also parses search-result pages from Bing, Google and DuckDuckGo. The collected addresses are kept in local browser storage; the code shows no network call that sends them elsewhere.
