Is TLDRify safe?

Clean risk

TLDRify sends the current page URL and serialized text-selection anchors to tldrify.com when you create a citation.

When you click the extension or its selection context menu with text selected, TLDRify posts the page URL and serialized selection data to tldrify.com to create a short citation link. The selection data includes range anchors such as XPath candidates, offsets, checksums, node indexes, and short snippets from selection boundaries.
