Is Right Click Opens Link New Tab safe?

Low risk

Right Click Opens Link New Tab lets page-dispatched mouse events open attacker-chosen URLs in new tabs.

The extension injects a content script into all HTTP and HTTPS frames and attaches mouse event handlers to page links. When those handlers see a right-button mouseup event, they send the link URL to the background worker, which opens it in a new tab without checking whether the event came from a real user click.
