Is Screen Lens - Search Screen with Google Lens safe?
Screen Lens sends user-triggered screenshots and YouTube frame captures to Google Lens for visual search.
When you use Screen Lens to search the screen, a selected area, or a YouTube video frame, the extension captures that image from the active tab. It opens Google Lens and uploads the captured PNG image so Lens can run the visual search.
