Is 5CH STYLE FORMAT safe?
5CH STYLE FORMAT turns image and YouTube links on 5ch threads into remote image loads.
On 5ch thread pages, the extension rewrites post links that point to images into embedded image elements and converts YouTube links into thumbnail image URLs. When those images are inserted, the browser can fetch the remote resources, which shares the requested URL, referrer, and IP address with the image host.
