WIPS.COM'S EXTENSION SERVICE COLLECTS AND STORES INFORMATION ABOUT THE WEB PAGES YOU VIEW. IN SOME CASES, INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THE EXTENSION SERVICE MAY BE PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE, BUT PRIVACY IS IMPORTANT AT WIPS.COM, AND WE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ANALYZE WEB USAGE DATA TO DETERMINE THE IDENTITY OF ANY WIPS.COM USER.

The company responded to several user reviews confirming the ownership change as well and that the extension was sending statistics to company servers.

"Hi,there is no need to worry, we provide this add-on for free without any spyware, spam or advertising.
You can turn the stats off in the options."

Martin from ghacks contacted the company to find out more about this. Lukas Marek, the company CEO told Martin that the extension was not sending any browsing data- but did so in the past - and that the connections that are still made by the extension are for analytical purposes only. Martin can confirm, is that the extension is still contacting servers on every page load of the browser.

Stay Way from this Add-on
