Is Textverified: SMS Verification Service [BETA] safe?

Textverified lets Textverified web pages, including HTTP pages, change proxy settings and read extension storage.

Its manifest allows textverified.com and www.textverified.com pages over HTTP or HTTPS to send external messages into the extension. The background command handler accepts those messages for storage reads and writes, clearing browsing data, opening tabs, and setting a caller-supplied proxy with credentials.
