Is Домашняя страница и поиск от Mail.Ru safe?
The extension sends session cookies to Mail.Ru's advertising platform and transmits daily telemetry with a persistent install ID to Mail.Ru analytics endpoints.
On install and once per day, the extension fetches ad-targeting pixels from ad.mail.ru using credentials:include, which attaches any ad.mail.ru session cookies held by the browser to those requests. Separately, it sends daily usage metrics — including a persistent install ID, extension version, and day-count — to mrds.mail.ru and go.mail.ru. Both behaviors run automatically in the background without user interaction.
