Is Reader Mode - Natural Reader and dark mode safe?

Clean risk

Reader Mode - Natural Reader and dark mode sends visited page URLs and referrers to cleaner.reader-view.com.

The content script runs on all sites and records the current page URL, previous URL or referrer, timestamp, language, timezone, platform, viewport size, tab ID, extension ID, and a persistent local analytics ID. It batches these events and the background service worker posts them to cleaner.reader-view.com when the batch reaches 20 events.
