Is Wachete - Monitor website content changes safe?

Medium risk

Wachete sends the active tab URL to www.wachete.com over cleartext HTTP when clicked.

When the toolbar button is clicked, Wachete opens its new-wachet page with the current tab URL encoded in the query string. The destination uses http://www.wachete.com/new-wachet, so the visited page URL is sent to Wachete over unencrypted HTTP.
