Is Save Images to Google Photos™ safe?
Save Images to Google Photos sends user-selected page images and their source URLs to the Google Photos Library API.
When you choose "Save to Google Photos" from an image context menu, the extension injects a script into that tab to load the clicked image and convert it to image data. It uploads the image to photoslibrary.googleapis.com using your Google OAuth token, then creates a Google Photos media item whose description includes the original image URL.
