Is Lycos Extension safe?
Lycos Extension sends browser search queries to search6.lycos.com through its default search setting and redirect rule.
It sets the browser's default search provider to Lycos and redirects matching main-frame search URLs with a declarativeNetRequest rule. The query text from searches is sent in the URL to search6.lycos.com/ext/search, and the extension's popup can set the redirect source parameter used by the rule.

Where it sends data
