Is Unblocked Websites safe?
Unblocked Websites routes 100% of browser traffic through a hardcoded datacenter proxy, not just games or unblock sites.
Clicking the popup's Unblock button installs a PAC script that returns the same proxy for every URL visited, even though the code also contains an unused, commented-out version that would have scoped it to a handful of specific domains. The proxy IP is picked from four hardcoded datacenter addresses and authenticated automatically with a single hardcoded username and password baked into the extension, so the user never sees or controls which server their traffic goes through.
Rated medium risk because of who publishes it: 1 of the 3 other listings from the same operator is rated high or critical for malicious behavior. Flagged: Blockify (high).

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
3 other listings published from this account, 403k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
