Is Art Institute of Chicago: Art Tab safe?
Art Institute of Chicago: Art Tab sends new-tab page-view telemetry with a persistent client ID to Google Analytics.
When the new-tab page loads, the extension creates or reuses a client ID stored in Chrome local storage and posts a Google Analytics page_view event. The event includes the page title and page URL for the extension's new-tab page, along with session timing data.

Shared hosts - 3 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.
