Is Search by image on Alibaba safe?
Search by image on Alibaba sends visited URLs to apiheaven.io and can redirect a background tab from server-provided links.
When any HTTP or HTTPS page finishes loading, the extension fetches remote config from apiheaven.io, sends the full visited URL to apiheaven.io/stats after timing checks, and may update an inactive tab to an apiheaven.io/pulse URL built from the server response. Its image-search handoff stores the last right-clicked image as a local base64 value and exposes it through a CustomEvent bridge injected on all sites, so any webpage can request that stored image before it is deleted.
