Is Microsoft Bing Homepage safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

Microsoft Bing Homepage is rated clean, though our review noted the following. We observed the extension generate a persistent device identifier (MachineID) and transmit it in a plaintext GET request to g.ceipmsn.com over an unencrypted HTTP connection, alongside the extension's version, ID, and your browser/OS details. The request fires once per calendar day, triggered by a background alarm and the next tab-switch. The identifier is generated once with Math.random() and then reused indefinitely from chrome.storage.local, so it stays the same across every browsing session until the extension is uninstalled. Because the connection is plain HTTP rather than HTTPS, this data is also readable by anyone positioned on the network path between your device and the endpoint.
