Is Snip - Remove Web Elements safe?
Snip - Remove Web Elements sends visited page URLs, titles, and referrers from broad content scripts to Google Analytics.
Snip runs a content script on every website and, when its release-note settings include a request ID, packages the current page title, URL, and referrer as a page_view analytics event. The background script forwards that event to Google Analytics along with an extension client ID stored locally.
