Is WorldWeatherOnline safe?
WorldWeatherOnline embeds third-party weather and IP-location API credentials in its shipped JavaScript.
WorldWeatherOnline includes a WorldWeatherOnline API key and an ipinfo token in bundled JavaScript. The extension builds HTTPS provider requests that include those credentials in query strings, making the credentials recoverable from the installed package.
