Is Rayobyte Proxy Switcher - Free Proxy Extension safe?
Rayobyte Proxy Switcher checks icanhazip.com to display the user's public IP address and proxy status.
When the popup opens or proxy settings change, the extension requests icanhazip.com to learn the current public IP address. It stores and displays that IP locally as the user's normal IP or proxy IP; the request exposes the source IP address to icanhazip.com.
