Is Search image on 1688 safe?
Search image on 1688 lets any webpage ask its handler to fetch an image URL and upload the image data to 1688.
The extension injects a web-accessible handler iframe on every page and accepts image-search messages without checking the sender. When a page sends an HTTP image URL, the handler fetches it through the extension, converts it to Base64 image data, submits it to 1688 image search, then opens the 1688 results page.
