Is Paywall-Free Reader safe?
Paywall-Free Reader opens reader requests on page.ke with the current page URL, title, and persistent device ID.
When you use the extension action or context menu to open a page in the reader, the extension builds a page.ke URL containing the target page URL, page title, browser type, and a persistent device ID stored by the extension. It then opens that page.ke reader URL in a new tab.
