Is BetterViewer safe?

Clean risk

BetterViewer uploads images to imgbb before opening them in Photopea or TinEye.

When you open an image in BetterViewer and click the Photopea or TinEye toolbar action, the extension converts the current image to base64 and sends it to imgbb. It then opens Photopea or TinEye with the returned imgbb image URL, so the selected image passes through imgbb before reaching the requested tool.
