Is Google Page Translate safe?
Google Page Translate sends the current tab URL to Google Translate when you click its toolbar button.
When you click the extension's toolbar button on a supported web page, it opens Google Translate with the current tab's URL in the translation request. The extension uses the URL only for that user-triggered action and does not define content scripts or broad host permissions in its manifest.
