Is Magoosh Vocabulary safe?

Low risk

Magoosh Vocabulary sends pronunciation lookup words and its embedded Wordnik API key to api.wordnik.com over HTTP.

When a user clicks the pronunciation button, Magoosh Vocabulary asks its background worker to fetch audio from Wordnik. The request URL uses cleartext HTTP and includes the requested word plus the extension's embedded Wordnik API key.
