Is YouCare - The charitable search engine safe?
Adds a charitable search engine that funds good deeds through search advertising revenue.
This extension adds YouCare to Firefox so users can search the web through a search engine that supports causes such as reforestation, shelter animal meals, and cancer research. The store description says YouCare earns revenue from ads linked to search results and publishes donation certificates for partner organizations. It also states that searches through YouCare use HTTPS and that search history and visited websites are not recorded.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed YouCare - The charitable search engine contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
