Is XCancel safe?
XCancel redirects Twitter and X page and frame loads to xcancel.com while preserving the requested path.
When a Twitter or X page or embedded frame loads, XCancel uses blocking web request rules to send the browser to the matching xcancel.com path. The redirected URL includes the original path, so xcancel.com receives the destination path from the Twitter or X request.
