Is Reurl.cc safe?

Clean risk

Reurl.cc sends the active tab URL to reurl.cc when a signed-in user opens the extension popup.

When the user opens the Reurl.cc popup, the extension reads the current active tab URL. If the user has an unexpired Reurl.cc login cookie, it posts that URL to Reurl.cc's shortening API to create a shortened link.
