Is Transider——随手记单词 safe?
The extension sends selected English words to Youdao over HTTP when pronunciation audio plays.
When you double-click an English word on a webpage, the extension opens its side panel and builds a pronunciation audio URL using that selected word. The audio request goes to dict.youdao.com over cleartext HTTP unless mute prevents autoplay, so the selected word can be visible to the network path.
