Is Redgif Video Downloader safe?

Low risk

Redgif Video Downloader scans every site for GifPreview elements and passes matching page details to its background script.

The extension's content script runs on all websites, not only Redgifs or Reddit, and looks for elements matching the GifPreview selector. When it finds them, it sends DOM details such as element IDs, tag and class names, a short text snippet, and the tab URL to the extension background script for logging.
