Is Motrix WebExtension safe?

Clean risk

Motrix WebExtension sends download URLs and matching cookies to the local Motrix JSON-RPC service.

When a browser download starts, Motrix WebExtension reads the download URL, referrer, filename, and matching Cookie header. It forwards those details to the local Motrix/aria2 JSON-RPC service so the desktop download manager can handle the file.
