Is Saladict safe?
Saladict can send selected page and form text to Baidu Translate over cleartext HTTP.
Saladict injects selection scripts on all sites and can read selected text, including selections inside input and textarea fields. When its Baidu translation path is used, the selected text is sent as the q parameter to Baidu Translate over HTTP, with a second HTTP Baidu endpoint used as a fallback.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Saladict 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.
