Is Gastronomy Tab safe?

Low risk

Gastronomy Tab sends Chrome top-site hostnames to Google when showing new-tab favicons.

When its new-tab page opens, Gastronomy Tab reads Chrome's top-site list and displays favicon images for those sites. Each favicon request goes to Google's favicon service with the top-site hostname included in the domain_url query parameter.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Gastronomy Tab contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
