Is Quick Text Extraction safe?

Medium risk

Quick Text Extraction writes OCR text from selected screenshots into the page DOM.

When you activate text extraction, the extension captures a selected area of the current tab and runs OCR on the screenshot. It then places the recognized text in a textarea added to the page, where scripts on that page can read it.
