Is tab.pics safe?
tab.pics fetches new-tab photo metadata over HTTP from tab.pics for the selected subreddit.
When a new tab opens, tab.pics requests photo metadata from http://tab.pics/api/{subreddit} and stores the response in localStorage for rendering the page. Its options page also fetches http://tab.pics/api/subreddits, so the selected subreddit or subreddit-list request and the user's IP address are sent over cleartext HTTP.
