Is UW Wave safe?
UW Wave lets uwwave.ca and any *.vercel.app page read and modify its extension storage.
Its website bridge content script runs on uwwave.ca, *.vercel.app, localhost, and 127.0.0.1 pages and accepts window messages labeled CK_FROM_PAGE. Those pages can ask the extension to read, write, or remove chrome.storage.local and chrome.storage.sync values, then receive responses through window.postMessage.

What it can do
