Is Chrome Close Lock safe?
Chrome Close Lock sends protection on/off status to intellibyte.net over cleartext HTTP.
When protection is enabled, disabled, or falls back, Chrome Close Lock loads resources from intellibyte.net over HTTP. It then requests a page with an e=1 or e=0 parameter, which tells intellibyte.net whether protection is on or off and exposes the browser's IP address with the request.
