Is Piez safe?

Low risk

Piez adds Akamai diagnostic headers to requests sent to websites you visit.

On install or startup, Piez enables a default mode that uses Chrome's declarativeNetRequest API to modify requests for pages and common subresources across all URLs. Those requests include headers such as x-im-piez, pragma: akamai-x-ro-trace, x-akamai-ro-piez, and x-akamai-a2-disable until the user turns Piez off.
