IS IT SAFE?
Absolutely. This is some barebones JavaScript to detect elements and some CSS to apply visual changes. There are no trackers or telemetry scripts working in the background in this extension. Not to mention no data is being sent or shared with any third party or the developer. It's completely open source so you can audit the code.
