Security evaluation and analysis were performed on the function performance of this plug-in in upon. User traffics that were sent from the browser when during visiting and opening various web pages were evaluated and analyzed.

This information includes the content of visited web pages, the user's session, titles and addresses of these websites. Outgoing traffics were on port 80 and http protocol was selected. In the Software security Lab, we show that in addition to the title and URL of visited websites, all contents of the visited pages, along with the user's session are sent to the address of the Flipora server. Next furthermore, other plug-ins were studied partially and security suggestions were provided in using the plug-ins installed on the browsers.
