Is Font Finder by WhatFont safe?
Font Finder by WhatFont places its extension ID in the page DOM when you activate the font overlay.
When the toolbar action starts the font finder, its content script adds an overlay to the current page and includes a chrome-extension:// image URL containing the extension's runtime ID. Page scripts on that site can read this DOM content while the overlay is present; the code does not show this data being sent to an external server.
