Summary

Analyze keywords

This is UNOFFICIAL extension.

Replaces GET request to POST on DuckDuckGo.

GET is less secure compared to POST because data sent is part of the URL. So it's saved in browser history and server logs in plaintext. POST is a little safer than GET because the parameters are not stored in browser history or in web server logs.

Some other notes on GET requests:

GET requests can be cached GET requests remain in the browser history GET requests can be bookmarked GET requests should never be used when dealing with sensitive data GET requests have length restrictions GET requests should be used only to retrieve data
