Is BookmarksHome safe?
BookmarksHome can send displayed bookmark hostnames to Google's favicon service.
When its favicon option is enabled, BookmarksHome reads each displayed bookmark URL, extracts the hostname, and uses it to request an icon. Those icon requests go to Google's s2.googleusercontent.com favicon endpoint, revealing the hostnames of bookmarks shown on the extension page.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.
