Is The Easy Translator safe?
The Easy Translator places selected page text into a Google Translate URL opened in a popup window.
When you use its selection context menu or keyboard shortcut, the extension reads the selected text and adds it to the text query parameter of the configured translation service. By default, that service is translate.google.com, so the selected text is transmitted to Google Translate when the popup loads.
