Is Chrome Step ToolBox safe?
Chrome Step ToolBox displays local Anki note metadata and media inside UWorld question pages.
When a UWorld explanation is open, the extension queries local AnkiConnect for matching notes, note details, and media files. It inserts fields, tags, and base64 image overlays into the UWorld page DOM, making that Anki content available to scripts running on the page.
