Is BiLin - Free AI Search Engine Sidebar safe?
BiLin lets any webpage change its saved translation and assistant settings through a CustomEvent bridge.
BiLin injects a content script into all pages and frames, where page scripts can send CustomEvent messages to its third-party bridge. Messages of type setConfig or setMiniConfigAsync update saved preferences such as target language, interface language, translation services, and AI assistant IDs without an allowlist check.
