Is My world clock safe?
My world clock redirects new-tab search queries to search-it.cc with affiliate parameters.
My world clock replaces Chrome's new-tab page with its own clock and search page. When a user types a search query there and presses Enter or the search button, the extension sends the query to search-it.cc with campaign and publisher parameters instead of using the form's visible Bing search action.
