Is ClipType safe?
ClipType inserts typing controls that load button icons from img.icons8.com on the active page.
When you invoke ClipType's context-menu typing UI on an editable page, it injects pause and stop controls into that page. Those controls use remote image URLs, causing the browser to request icon files from img.icons8.com with normal request metadata such as IP address, page URL, and referrer.
