Is Google Image Search Right Click safe?
Google Image Search Right Click opens a cleartext Google image-search URL containing the selected image URL.
When you choose its image-search context menu item, the extension reads the clicked image's URL and opens Google reverse image search with that URL in the query string. The code uses http://images.google.com/searchbyimage rather than HTTPS for the initial navigation, so the selected image URL is placed in a cleartext request path unless upgraded by the browser or server.
