Is Remove bg safe?

Clean risk

Remove bg uploads selected images to removebg.webtm.ru for background removal.

When you upload an image in the popup or use the image context menu, Remove bg reads that image and sends it to removebg.webtm.ru for processing. The extension stores the returned result URL in browser storage so it can show the processed image.
