i would like to know if this addon's source code ise public/open source i highly suspect this addon has a built in "redirect" module interfering in between redirects from google search results to the final destinaton web pages. a redirect "tracker" domain caught my eye for just a split second right before i landed on "carrefoursa.com" , the redirect tracker url was "https://sweetydeals.com/?gclid=NbpaVNvgbuU2sDllqGK1tpbfNI1919B1ai30FJAqPwSfblVP1Y5abNP" google.com ->https://sweetydeals.com/?gclid=*** -> final url (which in my case was carrefoursa.com) to whomever it may concern, please acknowledge the potential thereat and act accordingly
