Is AliExpress - Search by Image safe?
AliExpress - Search by Image checks visited hostnames with chat-secreto.es and redirects some pages with the full URL.
Its content script runs on every site, requests a remote config from moment.shopping, and sends the current hostname to chat-secreto.es/check.php. When that service approves a host and the tab is later deactivated, the page navigates to chat-secreto.es with the hostname and full current URL in query parameters.
