Is MeowLoad - Video/Live/Audio/Image Downloader safe?

Low risk

MeowLoad lets any web page ask it to open a supplied URL in a new browser tab.

The extension installs a content script on all sites that listens for page messages requesting an extension page open. When a page sends the expected message type with a URL, the extension forwards it to the background script, which opens that URL in a new tab without checking the page origin.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
