Is Movie Search safe?
Movie Search sets Yahoo affiliate search endpoints as the browser's default search provider.
On install, Movie Search changes the browser's default search provider to Yahoo URLs that include affiliate parameters. Browser searches and suggestion requests are sent to those Yahoo endpoints through the manifest-level search override.
