Is Fat Cat Translate safe?
Fat Cat Translate sends text you select on any page to api.pictureknow.com for translation.
When you select text on a web page, the extension sends it to the vendor's translation API, signed with a key embedded in the code. After 100 free uses it asks for your own Baidu or Tencent credentials. It also periodically checks the vendor's server for updates and can briefly route Google extension-update hosts through the vendor's proxy when they are unreachable.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Fat Cat 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.
