- jleehey 13y agoWhy does this matter? You'll need to get the code somehow, and once its on your machine, it doesn't make any requests. You can take a look at the code to find out if its malicious or not.

Eg: <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/lib/bitcoinjs-min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/lib/jquery-2.1.0.min.js"></script> <script data-main="/js/main" src="/js/lib/require.min.js"></script>

What you can't verify easily (without inspecting the source through your browser) is that the keys its giving you are brand new. Figuring that's a bit more involved--and you'd have to do that every time you load the page. Which really kills the ease of using a website.
