Is Paint Tool for Chrome safe?
Paint Tool for Chrome saves your drawings and text into each website's localStorage when you use its overlay.
When you activate the paint overlay on a page, the extension serializes the canvas as a data URL and stores it in that page's localStorage. Because the storage is tied to the website origin rather than Chrome extension storage, scripts from the same site can read the saved drawing or text on sites where you use the tool.
