Is Reader View safe?
Clean risk
Reader View sends the full article HTML to the vendor's server when you use its Save to PC or Save to Google Drive buttons.
Reader View strips clutter from articles so they are easier to read. When you click its 'Save to PC' or 'Save to Google Drive' toolbar buttons (or the Ctrl/Cmd+S / Ctrl/Cmd+G shortcuts), the extension POSTs the entire rendered article HTML to readerview.freeonlineapps.net and then opens a vendor-hosted page showing the saved copy. This happens only on the article you choose to save, not automatically as you browse.
