Is Web Adblock - Ad Blocker safe?

Low risk

Web Adblock - Ad Blocker sends the active tab URL, browser, and OS to a Google Apps Script support endpoint.

The popup reads the currently active tab and, when the user uses the support action, posts the tab URL with the detected browser and operating system. The request is sent to a Google Apps Script URL at script.google.com.
