Is Read Aloud: A Text to Speech Voice Reader safe?

Low risk

Read Aloud sends the active tab URL and error details to its vendor server when a text-to-speech playback error occurs.

When a TTS playback error is encountered, the extension reads the last active tab URL from local storage and transmits it alongside TTS settings (voice, rate, pitch, volume) and the error stack to support.readaloud.app. This happens automatically without user interaction. Outside of error conditions, the extension operates locally using browser-provided TTS engines and the Google Translate API for voice synthesis.
