Is Architecture Tab safe?
Architecture Tab sends new-tab search queries to srchingoz.com with affiliate parameters.
Architecture Tab replaces the new-tab page with a search form. When a user submits a search, the query is sent to srchingoz.com in the URL along with fixed affiliate parameters.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
2 other listings published from this account, 7k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data
