Is SearchManualz safe?
SearchManualz routes default browser searches to SearchManualz and reports Yahoo page-load events with stored IDs.
SearchManualz makes feed.searchmanualz.com the default search provider, so address-bar searches are sent there with fixed publisher identifiers. On Yahoo pages, its content script sends page-load and keep-alive events to statistics.searchmanualz.com with the extension's stored user ID and publisher ID.
