Is LiveReload - Web extension safe?
LiveReload - Web extension injects a localhost LiveReload script into pages after you enable it.
When you click the toolbar button, the extension connects to a LiveReload server on 127.0.0.1:35729 and adds its script to pages on any URL. That LiveReload client reports the current page URL back to the local server over a WebSocket, so software running on your computer can receive the page address.
