Is Cats-Tab Default Search safe?

Clean risk

Cats-Tab Default Search sends searches typed in Chrome's default search box to www.cats-tab.xyz.

Its manifest sets Cats-Tab as the default search provider, so Chrome routes search terms and suggestion requests to Cats-Tab endpoints. Those requests include the user's typed search query in the URL parameter.
