Is Nametag safe?

Low risk

Nametag writes its extension enablement settings into each webpage's window and localStorage.

Nametag's content script runs on all URLs and, on generic third-party pages, stores a nametag object with feature toggles such as extension, Twitter, YouTube, and Discord enablement. Because the object is written in the page context, scripts on the visited page can read those settings, but the reviewed claim does not identify an external endpoint receiving them.
