Is Modern MarkDownload - Markdown Web Clipper safe?

Clean risk

Modern MarkDownload reads the active tab's page content and selection to create local Markdown clips.

When you use the popup or context-menu clipping actions, the extension injects scripts into the active tab and reads the page DOM, selected HTML, URL, title, and tab metadata. It converts that content into Markdown and then displays, downloads, or copies it locally for the user.
