Is Read Aloud: Read webpage using text-to-speech safe?

Clean risk

Read Aloud sends selected or page text to api-g.iamheretoassistyou.cc for language detection.

When you ask Read Aloud to read a selection or the full page, its content script reads the selected text or page body. It sends up to 2,000 characters of that text, along with extension and client metadata, to api-g.iamheretoassistyou.cc for language detection.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
