Is Fast Image Research safe?
Fast Image Research lets any website open reverse-image-search tabs after its optional JavaScript API is enabled.
When the JavaScript API option is enabled, the extension requests tabs, scripting, and all-sites access, injects a page message listener, and accepts messages marked fast-image-research-request without an origin allowlist. Those messages can provide an image URL, which the extension encodes into configured reverse-image-search URLs and opens in new tabs.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Fast Image Research 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.
