Is Art New Tabs safe?

Medium risk

Art New Tabs sends new-tab search terms to trends.search-hub.co when you press Enter.

Art New Tabs replaces the browser's new tab page with its own page and search box. When you type a search and press Enter, it opens a trends.search-hub.co URL with the typed search term included in the q parameter.

Same operator - 2 listings

Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.

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.
