Great add-on. Worked out of the box on Linux and kept me from having to use a heavy nodejs plugin to view formatted markdown.

Is GitLab Markdown Viewer Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

GitLab Markdown Viewer requires very minimum permissions.
