Is lavender | new tab safe?

Low risk

lavender | new tab sends precise coordinates to OpenWeatherMap when its new-tab weather feature is used.

When the new tab page loads its weather feature, it requests precise location through the browser's geolocation prompt with high accuracy enabled. If permission is granted, the extension sends latitude and longitude to api.openweathermap.org to fetch current weather.
