Is Jokes and Smiles - New Tab safe?
Jokes and Smiles - New Tab sends new-tab telemetry to Google Analytics and requests country data from ipapi.co.
When a new tab page loads, the extension sends a Google Analytics event that includes the page title, the new-tab URL, and persistent client and session identifiers. On new-tab creation, it also requests country data from ipapi.co and sends the country name as another Google Analytics event.
