Is Gismeteo Tab safe?

Clean risk

Gismeteo Tab sends IP-based city lookups and saved city IDs to Gismeteo weather endpoints.

On the new-tab page, Gismeteo Tab calls Gismeteo's inf_chrometab service to infer a city from the request IP and fetch forecasts using a saved city ID and locale. It stores selected locations and settings in browser storage, then reuses those values for later city updates and forecast requests.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Gismeteo 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.
