Is WA Chat Translator | WASBB.COM safe?

Clean risk

WA Chat Translator sends WhatsApp message text to Google Translate when its translation feature runs.

On WhatsApp Web, the content script reads message text from chat DOM elements when click-to-translate or auto-translate runs. It sends that text as a query parameter to Google Translate's translate API and caches the translated result in the extension.

Shared hosts - 2 hostnames

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
