Is Old Images Redirect: Disable Google Lens safe?
Old Images Redirect sends Google Lens image data to Google's classic image search upload endpoint.
When a Google Lens result page loads, the extension reads the page HTML to extract the embedded base64 JPEG and sends it to the background script. The background script uploads that image data to Google's classic search-by-image endpoint and redirects the tab to the returned results URL. Its context-menu image search also sends data: image URLs through the same Google upload endpoint.
