Is Font Identifier by WhatFontIs safe?
Font Identifier by WhatFontIs sends selected font renderings and image snippets to whatfontis.com for identification.
When you use the extension to identify a font, it reads the selected page text and font family, renders that selection or crop as an image, and submits it to WhatFontIs. Its image flows can also send a cropped visible-tab region or open WhatFontIs with the clicked image URL for lookup.
