Is Fashion Background Pictures New Tab safe?

Medium risk

Fashion Background Pictures New Tab sends new-tab search queries to feed.mambosearch.com with publisher and barcode IDs.

When you type a search into the extension's new-tab page and click its search button, the extension opens a feed.mambosearch.com URL containing the raw query. The URL also includes fixed publisher and barcode identifiers, so the search provider receives both the query text and those extension identifiers.
