Is Flex Search Engine safe?
Flex Search Engine sends browser search terms to flexsearchengine.com through its default search provider.
The extension sets itself as the browser's default search provider, so address-bar searches go to flexsearchengine.com with the query in the URL. It also installs a main-frame redirect rule that preserves the search query while changing the source marker based on the selected search engine.
