Is Cookiebro - Cookie Manager safe?
Cookiebro sends cookie domain names to DuckDuckGo when it displays remote favicons in cookie editor and log pages.
When the Cookie Editor or Cookie Log loads, Cookiebro requests icons from DuckDuckGo for each listed cookie domain unless favicons are disabled. Those requests reveal the domains represented in your cookie list or cookie log to DuckDuckGo, but this code path does not include cookie names or values in the icon URL.
