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?

    you should use a VPN if you’re concerned about privacy.

    Bittorrent is not private at all. it’ll show your IP and the stuff you’re downloading to everyone.

    Plugins will probably use some kind of special page designed for programs, not humans (called api). it will be separate from your regular browser.
