Is Headway — New Tab Todo List safe?

Clean risk

Headway sends precise browser geolocation coordinates to WeatherAPI when its default-on new-tab weather feature runs.

Its new-tab page enables weather by default and asks for browser location. When permission is granted, it sends latitude and longitude in a forecast request to api.weatherapi.com; the recorded behavior is limited to the extension's new-tab page.
