Is Taste — Consent Manager & Cookie Banner Remover safe?
Taste captures a screenshot of the visible tab on sites showing a cookie banner and uploads it to taste-api.taaste.io.
On pages where a cookie-consent banner appears and the site has not been analysed yet, the extension takes a PNG of the whole visible viewport, not just the banner, and uploads it to its API with a hardcoded key. It also uploads the fetched privacy policy text of the site. A web page can also post a message that triggers this capture and upload.
