Is Horse Wallpaper New Tab with Facts safe?

Low risk

Horse Wallpaper New Tab with Facts lets horsestab.com pages read your Chrome top-sites list.

The extension exposes a message handler to pages on horsestab.com and its subdomains that returns Chrome's top-sites data, including URLs and page titles. On the same site, its content script also writes the extension's persistent user ID and install metadata into the page DOM where page scripts can read it.

Horses Tab - no other listings under this identity, 3 shared hostnames

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.

Horses Tab

Shared hosts - 3 hostnames

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Horse 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.
