Is Matrix Start Tabs safe?

Low risk

Matrix Start Tabs sends failed navigation hostnames to matrixstarttabs.com.

Matrix Start Tabs monitors top-level web navigation errors for HTTP and HTTPS pages. When a page fails because the hostname cannot be resolved, it redirects the tab to matrixstarttabs.com and includes the failed hostname in the nx query parameter.
