Is Simplify: Text Simplifier safe?
Simplify: Text Simplifier sends selected page text and saved extension data to its Heroku backend for processing.
When you use the context menu or popup to simplify, summarize, or explain selected text, the extension opens a WebSocket to its backend. The message includes the text you chose plus stored extension preference and user data from Chrome sync storage, such as an email only if it was saved during signup.
