Is Rutor Torrent Search safe?
Rutor Torrent Search sends typed popup searches to Google Suggest and opens submitted searches over cleartext HTTP.
As you type in the extension popup, it requests autocomplete suggestions from Google Suggest using an unencrypted HTTP URL that includes the in-progress search text. When you submit a search, the extension opens a rutor.info HTTP search URL with the encoded query in the address.
