Is Knovel Browser Extension safe?
Knovel Browser Extension sends matching search-engine queries to app.knovel.com for inline result lookup.
When you search on supported search engines, the extension checks the query against its bundled Knovel keyword dictionary. If the query matches and inline results are enabled, it sends that search term to app.knovel.com so the extension can show Knovel results in the page.
