Is Text to Speech Reader safe?
Text to Speech Reader reads the active tab's page text into local extension storage so Chrome can speak it aloud.
When its side panel loads or refresh is clicked, it runs a script in the active tab that returns document.body.innerText. The extension splits that text into lines, stores it in local extension storage, detects the language, and uses Chrome's text-to-speech API to read the chunks aloud.
