Is ParagraphAI safe?

Medium risk

ParagraphAI lets allowed paragraphai.com and localhost pages read the signed-in user's email and Firebase ID token.

ParagraphAI accepts external messages from paragraphai.com subdomains and localhost pages on ports 8000 and 9000. When those pages send a checkAuth request, the extension responds with the user's logged-in state, email address, and Firebase ID token.
