Is Text Link & Google Translate safe?
Text Link & Google Translate sends selected page or form text to Google Translate when you use its translate context menu.
When you choose the extension's translation action, its content script reads highlighted page text or selected text inside text fields. The background script URL-encodes that text and opens Google Translate endpoints with it as a query parameter.

Where it sends data
