Is VIPRE URL Filtering safe?
VIPRE URL Filtering sends HTTPS page URLs and headers to its local native security host.
The extension watches main-frame HTTPS requests, caches their request or response headers, and sends the URL, HTTP method, browser name, and headers to com.vipre.https_url_filter for filtering. If the native host enables payload scanning, it refetches GET pages without credentials and sends the response bytes or hex string plus size to the same local host.

What it can do
