Is IP Domain Country Flag safe?

Clean risk

IP Domain Country Flag sends public active-tab hostnames to DNSlytics to look up and display a country flag.

When a tab loads or becomes active, the background worker reads the tab URL, extracts the hostname, and requests flag data from addon.dnslytics.uk. It skips private or local hostnames and caches returned location data in Chrome storage so repeat visits do not call the API again.
