Is Multimedia Search safe?
Multimedia Search overrides the default search engine to browsingsafety.net and sends all address-bar queries with an affiliate tracking ID.
Every search typed in the address bar is sent to browsingsafety.net with a hardcoded affiliate ID (s=bdpr). Autocomplete suggestions are fetched from sug.browsingsafety.net on every keystroke, transmitting the partial query to the vendor's server before the user finishes typing. When the user changes an autocomplete preference, the extension sends that setting to browsingsafety.net via a credentialed request, allowing the server to read and set cookies.
