Is Text Spotlight safe?

Medium risk

Text Spotlight sends entered URLs to edurls.org to create shortened links or QR codes.

When you use Text Spotlight's shorten or QR-code button, the extension sends the text field's URL to edurls.org's YOURLS API. The request includes a built-in API signature and the URL you entered so the service can return a shortened link.
