Is My Weather Tab safe?
My Weather Tab sends IP-derived location data to weather services from its new-tab page.
When the new-tab page loads, the weather widget requests location data from ipinfo.io over HTTP and repeats the request every five minutes. It uses the returned coordinates to request current weather from OpenWeather and stores the weather response in Chrome sync storage for reuse.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed My Weather Tab contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
