Is Embark - New Tab Page safe?

Low risk

Embark - New Tab Page sends TrackJS usage telemetry from its new-tab and options pages.

When the new-tab or options page opens, the extension loads TrackJS error logging code with a persistent cookie-backed correlation ID. It immediately sends usage telemetry to TrackJS, and JavaScript errors can also send page URL, browser, viewport, console, and network-log context.
