Is Foxtana Pro - Redirect Cortana safe?
Foxtana Pro rewrites Bing search URLs to a chosen search engine and forces custom search redirects to HTTP.
It watches main-frame requests to bing.com, reads the q query parameter, and redirects the search to Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Baidu, or a custom URL depending on settings. When the custom search option is used, the code rewrites the custom URL prefix to http:// before appending the search query.
