Is Live Server Web Extension safe?

Low risk

Live Server Web Extension opens live-reload WebSockets from pages when the feature is enabled.

When live reload is enabled, the content script runs on every HTTP and HTTPS page and opens a WebSocket for reload messages. It connects to the page's /ws endpoint in proxy setup, or to the live server URL configured in the popup for direct setup, then reloads matching pages when the server sends a reload or refreshcss message.
