It's running in a sandboxed environment(the web browser). The worst-case scenario is it gaining access to my HN account, and I don't really care that much about it.

It's not going to install a bootsector virus on my machine, or ransomware-encrypt all the data on my NAS. So the risk of anything important happening is small, and the same risk as visiting any website on the internet.
