Is Galaxy-Newtab safe?
Galaxy-Newtab sends each Chrome top-site URL to Google's favicon service when its new-tab page renders.
Galaxy-Newtab replaces the browser's new-tab page and reads Chrome's topSites list to render shortcut tiles. For each displayed shortcut, it loads a favicon from s2.googleusercontent.com with the visited site's URL included in the domain_url query parameter.
