Is E START Startup-page Setting Tool safe?
E START sets the browser startup page to a plain-HTTP URL, sending each browser launch to start.jword.jp without encryption.
When installed, the extension configures Chrome to open http://start.jword.jp/__PARAM__ on every browser startup. Because the URL uses plain HTTP rather than HTTPS, the request and any response can be observed or modified by network intermediaries. The extension contains no background script or content script; its only function is this startup-page override.
