Is Convert File safe?
Convert File sends a bundled ConvertAPI secret with each file-conversion request.
The extension builds its conversion request with a hardcoded Secret query parameter and StoreFile=true in the ConvertAPI URL. When a user submits the new-tab conversion form, that credential is transmitted to v2.convertapi.com as part of the conversion request.
