Is Custom Tab For Chrome safe?
Custom Tab For Chrome sends new-tab geolocation coordinates to panel.onlynewtab.com for weather lookup.
When the new-tab weather widget has no saved city, it asks for browser geolocation and sends the latitude and longitude to panel.onlynewtab.com to find a nearby city. Some alternate new-tab layouts also request Google favicon URLs built from your most-visited sites and bookmark domains, which discloses those domains to Google.

Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.5. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
