Is Edge Translate safe?
Edge Translate sends selected text from any website to configured third-party translation services when translation is requested.
Edge Translate runs a selection script on all websites and reads the text you select when you ask it to translate. The selected text is then sent to the configured translation provider, which can include Google, Bing, Baidu, Tencent, or DeepL endpoints.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed edge_translate contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
