Is Global Weather Snap safe?
Global Weather Snap uses IP geolocation and Mapbox reverse geocoding to set an initial weather location.
When the extension is installed, its background worker contacts ipinfo.io to estimate your location from your IP address. It then sends the derived coordinates to Mapbox reverse geocoding and stores the resulting weather location in the extension's local storage.
