Is robots.txt viewer safe?
robots.txt viewer sends the active tab's scheme and hostname to robots-viewer.com when its popup opens.
When you open the extension popup on an HTTP or HTTPS page, it reads the active tab URL and extracts the scheme and host. It posts those values to robots-viewer.com so the service can fetch and display that site's robots.txt file.
