Exactly what I was thinking. At the very least, anyone who downloads it could be tagged/targeted for surveillance.

Sadly this was my first thought as well. Anyone putting their faith in a tool like this is going to have a bad time.

It is open-source at least. That doesn't mean it's safe, but at least it's inspect-able.

I hesitate to download and install anything I'm not sure of.

Well it's year 2015 and it's your job to "be sure". Educate yourself on it if you think it might be useful at some point.

Then of course, nobody is forcing you to and you could just ignore it before your inner "unsure" talks for you.

That's a ridiculous expectation that will only become more ridiculous over time. People can't be experts on everything.

That's a novel way to put it, thanks for the reply.

Looks like it's open-source, so you can at least inspect it. I'd be wary too, but if you have the right skillset, you can make a reasonable investigation as to whether it's doing something shady or not.

At the end of the day, being wary is the right call
