crvtck.com-Tracker in "S3.Google Translator".
Posted: 2018-06-02, 18:17
On http://addons.palemoon.org/incompatible/, the Firefox addons "gTranslate" and "Quick Translator" are listed as incompativle with Pale Moon, and it is advised to use "S3.Google translator".
However, this addon contains a tracker:
When the addon is enabled, whenever I visit a new domain (or revisit an
old one after some time), this is logged to crvtck.com, possibly
containing other data.
I see HTTP requests of the form
<key> is a hex string with 32 characters.
If the addon is disabled, those requests are not sent out.
So I strongly advise to place a fat warning to the entries at http://addons.palemoon.org/incompatible/ which mention "S3.Google Translator".
Tested with S3.Google Translator version 5.35 in Pale Moon 27.9.2 (custom build).
(Same with Screengrab!, by the way.)
