Is Open incognito tab safe?
Open incognito tab sends feedback messages and the active tab URL to Telegram.
When a user submits feedback from the popup, the extension appends the current tab URL to the message and posts both to api.telegram.org through a hardcoded bot. It also injects a widget into every page that can open the current page in an incognito window and, when history clearing is enabled, remove that site's history entry. Because the widget is inserted into pages without requiring trusted clicks, page scripts can trigger the same action.
