Is Modern for Wikipedia safe?

Clean risk

Modern for Wikipedia stores a local history of visited Wikipedia articles in browser storage.

When you visit Wikipedia pages, the content script reads page metadata such as the title, description, canonical URL, thumbnail URL, scroll position, and timestamp. It keeps up to 100 entries in the browser's local extension storage, and the claim does not identify an external recipient.
