Is Google Lens ImageSearcher safe?

Clean risk

Google Lens ImageSearcher sends user-selected active-tab screenshots to Google Lens for image search.

When a user clicks the extension action or context menu for a non-image target, the extension injects a page overlay, captures the visible tab, and crops the selected area. It opens Google Lens and submits the cropped PNG screenshot to Google Lens by simulating a file drop on the page.
