Is Enhanced File Explorer for Chrome safe?
Enhanced File Explorer for Chrome loads Google Fonts when it displays local file directory pages.
When the extension runs on local file directory pages, its content script adds a Google Fonts stylesheet to the page. That creates a request to fonts.googleapis.com while you are browsing local file listings, which can expose network metadata such as your IP address to Google Fonts.
