Is Deer safe?
Deer's new-tab page routes its Amazon shortcut icon through the vendor's own domain instead of amazon.com.
Deer replaces the browser's new tab page with a page of shortcut icons to popular sites. Six of the seven icons (Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Gmail, ChatGPT, GitHub) link directly to their real domains, but the Amazon icon instead opens newtabthemebuilder.com/amazon, an undisclosed first hop on the vendor's own site before it presumably forwards the user on to Amazon.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Deer contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
