Is Renew Search safe?
Renew Search redirects failed website loads to renew-search.com with the failed site's hostname.
When a top-level HTTP or HTTPS page load fails because the hostname cannot be resolved, Renew Search navigates the tab to renew-search.com. The failed site's hostname is included in the redirect as an nx parameter, exposing that hostname to the service.
