Is Simple Web Scraper (Free) safe?

Clean risk

Simple Web Scraper (Free) captures the rendered DOM from user-selected HTTP(S) pages for local scraping.

When the user chooses a tab or enters HTTP(S) URLs, the extension opens or uses those pages, injects a script after load, and serializes the rendered page HTML into its results view. It then extracts configured HTML elements or matching script lines for display, copying, or CSV download; no external recipient is evidenced.
