This extension operates entirely within your browser and does not automatically initiate scans or upload files to VirusTotal. It simply provides quick access to existing information.
To optimize browser performance and conserve resources, it’s recommended to keep these extensions disabled when they are not in use. You can easily enable any extension when you need to perform a lookup or access specific information, then disable it afterward. This approach helps reduce the extensions' impact on system memory and keeps your browser running smoothly.
