Is Trufflepiggy - Context Search safe?
Trufflepiggy sends selected image URLs to TinEye over cleartext HTTP for reverse-image searches.
When you use the TinEye context-menu image search, Trufflepiggy places the selected image URL into a TinEye search link. That link uses cleartext HTTP, so the image URL is opened through http://tineye.com/search rather than an encrypted HTTPS URL.
