Is Black Ice IceViewer for Chrome safe?
Black Ice IceViewer intercepts TIFF, PDF, and AFP file downloads and routes their content to a locally-installed Black Ice native application.
When the 'OpenFilesWithoutDownload' feature is enabled, the extension patches XMLHttpRequest on every page to detect file responses with supported MIME types. Matching file content is read as base64 and sent to the extension background, which forwards it to a native host installed on the user's machine. External messaging is restricted to localhost and blackice.com domains.
