Is Open in Builtwith safe?

Clean risk

Open in Builtwith opens the active tab's hostname on builtwith.com when you click its toolbar button.

When you click the extension button, Open in Builtwith reads the current tab URL, extracts its hostname, and opens a new tab at builtwith.com for that site. It uses the activeTab permission and does not run content scripts or send data unless you invoke it from the toolbar.
