Is Geometric Structures safe?
Geometric Structures sends new-tab searches with persistent IDs and displayed bookmark URLs to external services.
The new tab page reads browser bookmarks to render shortcut tiles, and each displayed shortcut requests its favicon from Google with the bookmark URL in the request. Its search form submits the user's query to search.geometricstructures.net along with stored extension identifiers, install timing, and a click identifier.
