Is Gemini Chat Sidebar safe?
Gemini Chat Sidebar sends active-page text, screenshots, and uploaded files to Google Gemini.
When you use the sidebar's page analysis, screenshot, or file upload features, the extension packages the active tab's body text or attached content into the Gemini conversation. It sends that content to Google's Gemini Developer API for streamed model responses.
