Is Override Chrome's New Tab Policy safe?

Low risk

Override Chrome's New Tab Policy sends the configured new-tab URL to Google Forms when the user clicks Help me.

The extension stores a user-configured replacement new-tab URL and uses it when Chrome opens a new tab. If the user clicks the popup's Help me button, the current value from that URL field is opened as a prefilled parameter in a Google Forms help page.
