Is Medium PDF Downloader: Export Medium to PDF, Markdown, JSON, Text safe?
Medium PDF Downloader sends the HTML of the article page to its Cloud Run backend to render a PDF.
When you click download, the extension uploads the page's HTML as rendered in your browser, including any logged-in or paywalled content, along with the page URL and colour scheme to the vendor's backend. The backend returns a PDF that the extension saves to your downloads. The upload only happens after a user click.
