Is SnapTrans Translate safe?
SnapTrans Translate sends selected page text to Google Translate when its translator icon is clicked.
SnapTrans Translate runs a content script on all pages and records the current text selection after mouseup events. When the user clicks the injected translator icon, it sends that selected text to Google Translate's translate API with automatic source-language detection and the stored target language.
