I recently installed some torrent search engines into my qBittorrent application and I was wondering if it came with any privacy concerns.

How does it gather the data using Python? Does it visit the website using my default browser or does it fetch it in some other way?

    They are open source, you can read them. If I’m not wrong they are pretty short. Anyway they query the website api directly so you should be ok (depending on how the websites monitor their api)

    It depends on the implementation, but probably privacy shouldn’t differ from you searching manually…
    I didn’t know qBittorrent has a search feature
