Is Easy Private Bookmarks safe?
Easy Private Bookmarks sends visible bookmark hostnames to Google to load favicon images.
When the popup renders bookmarks, it reads the browser bookmark tree and builds favicon image URLs from each visible unlocked bookmark's hostname. Loading those images sends the bookmark domains in requests to Google's favicon service.
