Is Open With safe?

Clean risk

Open With sends the selected page or link URL to its local native helper when you use its open-with actions.

When you click the toolbar popup, use the context menu, or trigger its keyboard command, Open With reads the active page, link, frame, image, or selected URL. It passes that URL into the locally installed open_with native helper so the helper can launch the browser command you configured.
