Is Link Unshortener safe?

Medium risk

Link Unshortener sends matching shortened-link navigation URLs to linkunshorten.com through redirect rules.

When enabled, Link Unshortener fetches a remote list of shortened-link domains from linkunshorten.com and installs browser redirect rules for matching top-level page loads. Those redirects include the matched navigation URL in a url query parameter sent to linkunshorten.com.
