Is DesktopHut Live Wallpapers Tab Pro safe?

Low risk

DesktopHut Live Wallpapers Tab Pro sends bookmark domains to third-party favicon services on the new-tab page.

When its replacement new-tab page loads, the extension reads bookmarks from your bookmarks bar and extracts each bookmarked site's domain. It requests favicons for those domains from DuckDuckGo, and falls back to Google's favicon service if the DuckDuckGo icon fails to load.
