Is Open Bookmarks in New Tab safe?

Medium risk

Open Bookmarks in New Tab rewrites some Google, Microsoft, and Baidu bookmarks through a GitHub Pages redirect.

When the extension is installed or enabled, it walks the bookmark tree and rewrites bookmarks so they open in a new tab. For Google, Microsoft, and Baidu domains, it stores the original destination URL in a query parameter on a GitHub Pages redirect page, which displays that URL and redirects after a short delay. If rewritten bookmarks remain after direct uninstall, opening them can send those destination URLs to the GitHub Pages host.
