Is Super Drag for Google Chrome safe?

Clean risk

Super Drag exposes its tab-opening handler to all web pages with no sender validation, letting any site open new tabs or trigger searches.

Super Drag is a drag-gesture extension that lets users open links or search selected text by dragging. Its service worker listens for messages via chrome.runtime.onMessage and responds by creating new tabs or performing searches. Because externally_connectable.matches covers all http and https origins and the handler performs no sender validation, any web page can invoke this behavior by calling chrome.runtime.sendMessage with a crafted URL or search term.
