Is Translator - translation of selected text safe?
Translator sends selected text and a stored generated email identifier to MyMemory for translation.
When you select text and use the popup, the extension sends that text to MyMemory's translation API if that provider is used. It also creates and stores a generated fake email address, then includes that identifier with the translation request.
