Is Notifier for GitHub safe?

Clean risk

Checks GitHub notifications every minute and shows unread counts in the browser.

This extension uses the GitHub Notifications API to monitor notifications, including GitHub Enterprise when configured. It can show unread counts only for issues you participate in, switch to an already open GitHub notifications page with optional tabs access, and display desktop notifications if enabled.
