Is To Google Lens safe?
To Google Lens uploads user-selected screenshots or images to Google Lens.
When you choose its screenshot option, the extension adds a page selector, captures the visible tab, crops the selected area, and encodes it as screenshot.webp. It then submits that image, or an image chosen from the context menu, to Google Lens using a multipart upload.
