Is TinEye Reverse Image Search safe?
TinEye loads a Google Fonts stylesheet into the active tab when displaying its notification UI, sending the tab URL to Google as a Referer.
TinEye Reverse Image Search adds a right-click context menu that submits a selected image URL to tineye.com for reverse-image lookup. When the extension displays its in-page notification (on toolbar-icon click or after a background search starts), it injects a Google Fonts <link> element into the active tab. The resulting font request includes the visited page's URL in the Referer header, disclosing it to fonts.googleapis.com.
