Is Search Anime by Screenshot safe?

Clean risk

Search Anime by Screenshot sends a user-selected image or video frame to trace.moe for anime scene search.

When you use the extension's context menu on an image or video, it captures the selected image or current video frame as a JPEG data URL. It then opens trace.moe and passes that image data to the page so trace.moe can run the anime scene search.
