Is Post SMTP Notifications safe?

Medium risk

Post SMTP Notifications sends the signed-in user's Firebase UID over a cleartext WebSocket.

When a user signs in from the extension popup, the popup passes the Firebase user object to the service worker. The service worker reads the user's stable Firebase UID and opens a ws:// connection with that UID in the URL query string.
