Is MineWeather safe?

Clean risk

MineWeather sends cached location coordinates to Open-Meteo for weather forecasts.

MineWeather replaces the new tab page and asks for browser geolocation access to show local weather. It stores latitude and longitude in browser storage, then sends those coordinates to api.open-meteo.com for forecast data and refreshes the forecast periodically.
