Is ReadLite - Simple Reading Mode safe?

Medium risk

ReadLite posts selected text and highlight notes from reader mode to the host page.

When reader mode is active, its content script posts the current selection text, DOM path, and highlight metadata to the page window. Highlight notes are stored locally and reflected into page DOM attributes, so scripts on that page can read the note text while the reader UI is mounted.
