Is 讀 Extension safe?
讀 Extension lets any webpage ask the extension to read selected or page text aloud through Chrome text-to-speech.
The extension installs a content script on all pages and listens for page messages tagged for 讀 Extension. When a page sends the matching play message, the content script forwards it to the service worker, which starts the extension's Chrome text-to-speech flow for selected text or the page content. The reviewed evidence does not show this flow sending user data to an external recipient.
