Is Keyboard Start Page safe?
Keyboard Start Page sends saved shortcut URLs to Google's favicon service each time the new-tab page renders.
When the new-tab page opens, Keyboard Start Page reads shortcut links saved in Chrome sync storage and uses each URL to request a favicon from Google's service. Those requests include the saved shortcut URL in the domain query parameter, so Google receives the URLs assigned to the keyboard shortcuts.
