crvtck.com-Tracker in "S3.Google Translator".

Unread post by dreieck » 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

Code: Select all

https://crvtck.com/get?key=<key>&out=https://kauflandstiftung.demdex.net&ref=https://www.kaufland.de&uid=o256&format=txt
<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.)
