Is Simple Gesture for Android safe?

Low risk

Simple Gesture for Android lets web pages trigger extension tab commands with synthetic gesture events.

The extension listens for gesture events on every website and forwards recognized gestures to its background script. Because it does not check whether those events came from a real user, a page can dispatch synthetic mouse or touch events that invoke tab actions such as closing the current tab or opening the extension settings page.
