Is NotebookLM Source Uploader safe?
NotebookLM Source Uploader stores clicked page links and sends selected HTTP(S) URLs to NotebookLM.
When link capture is enabled, the extension runs on HTTP and HTTPS pages, intercepts clicked links, and saves the normalized URL with page context in local extension storage. When the user uploads links from the side panel, it reads the saved list and sends valid HTTP(S) URLs to NotebookLM using the user's NotebookLM session.
