Is XML Formatter safe?

Clean risk

XML Formatter sends selected page text from its context-menu formatter to linangdata.com.

When you choose the extension's XML formatting context-menu action, it reads highlighted text on the page, compresses it, and places it in the xml query parameter of a linangdata.com formatter URL. It then opens that URL in a new tab, so the selected text is sent to linangdata.com.
