Is M Plugin safe?
M Plugin redirects Meduza pages through a bit.ly mirror URL when its setting is enabled.
When the extension is enabled and you open a Meduza page, its content script builds a bit.ly mirror URL using the page's path, query string, and fragment. It then replaces the current page with that mirror URL, which sends the visited Meduza URL details to bit.ly.
