Is ChromeOS Diagnostics safe?
ChromeOS Diagnostics shares CPU, memory, and storage details with its allowed diagnostics web origins.
When an allowed external page sends a message, the extension reads ChromeOS CPU, memory, and storage information and returns it in the response. The manifest limits this diagnostics bridge to localhost and diagchrome.netlify.app origins.
