Is Annotate.tv safe?
Annotate.tv lets localhost web pages request a base64 screenshot of the active visible tab.
Pages allowed by the extension manifest, including annotate.tv pages and http://localhost, can send a GET_BASE_64 message to the extension. The extension responds with a data:image base64 screenshot from chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab, and the handler does not limit the captured tab to YouTube or Vimeo.
