Is MYNT: Material You New Tab safe?
MYNT: Material You New Tab asks ipinfo.io for an IP-based location and sends the resulting coordinates to WeatherAPI.
When the weather widget is visible and no manual location is saved, the new-tab page fetches ipinfo.io to derive coordinates from the user's IP address. It then requests a forecast from WeatherAPI with those coordinates and a bundled or user-saved WeatherAPI key.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 3 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
