Is closed caption - dual subtitle viewer safe?

Clean risk

closed caption - dual subtitle viewer sends caption text to Google Translate when subtitle translation is enabled.

When translation is enabled on supported video sites, the extension reads visible caption text from the page and sends it through its background script. The background script URL-encodes that subtitle text and requests a translation from Google Translate.
