I've been using it since it was originally announced' I've never had cause to question its safety. It operates fine and has no conflicts with any other add-on I use. There was a one-time problem with https redirects to wikipedia but that has long since been corrected.

What's youre opinion? Or answer? :\
Everyone should be using it. Spread the word.
