Is Translate Now safe?
Translate Now sends selected text or page and link URLs to Google Translate, Bing Translator, or DeepL when you request translation.
When you use Translate Now from the toolbar or context menu, it reads the selected text, active page URL, or link URL needed for that translation. It then opens Google Translate, Bing Translator, or DeepL with that text or URL so the selected provider can process it.

Where it sends data
