Is Etsy Image Search safe?
Etsy Image Search sends selected image URLs to Yandex over a cleartext HTTP reverse-image-search URL.
When you use the Yandex image-search context-menu option on an image, the extension opens a Yandex reverse-image-search page with the selected image URL in the request. The code strips any query string from the image URL first, then sends it to yandex.com over HTTP rather than HTTPS.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
2 other listings published from this account, 14k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Etsy Image Search contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
