Is Hunter Email safe?
Hunter Email sends the active tab hostname to Bing and can scan visited pages for email addresses when autosearch is enabled.
When you open the popup, Hunter Email reads the active tab's hostname and sends it in a Bing search query to look for related email addresses. If you enable autosearch, it scans completed HTTP(S) pages for email addresses and stores the matches locally in the browser.
