Is MONKNOW New Tab - Personal Dashboard safe?
MONKNOW New Tab looks up your public IP address to infer your weather location.
When no location is configured, the background worker calls api.ipify.org to learn the browser's public IP, then requests ip-api.com over HTTP to map that IP to city, region, and country. It then uses that location text to query weather-api.monknow.com so the dashboard can select weather data.
