Is New Tab Search Assistant 52 safe?
New Tab Search Assistant 52 sends new-tab searches over cleartext HTTP to mybrowserbar.com.
When you search from the replacement new-tab page, the extension uses configuration and redirect URLs on www.mybrowserbar.com over HTTP and includes the entered query in the request. It also reads recent browser history locally to show top visited sites on the new-tab page, with no network destination found for that history data.
