This just sets up the browser to use a proxy,50.116.59.63 port 80, for those websites.

As it says in the privacy policy, they are only proxy service providers. The add-ons are supposed to do just that, use their proxy.

I don't think so. :)

Unless they constantly change their proxy's IP and play cat and mouse with the targeted websites. That is possible without user intervention because they use a self-hosted file (http://mediahint.com/default.pac) to setup the proxy through the use of their extension.
