Is Right Click Opens Link in a Background Tab safe?

Low risk

Right Click Opens Link in a Background Tab lets page scripts trigger background tabs to attacker-chosen links.

The extension runs a content script on all sites and listens for right-click mouse events on links. Because the listener does not require a trusted user gesture, page JavaScript can dispatch matching synthetic events and make the extension open a chosen URL in a background tab.
