Is Neon work clock - newtab safe?

Low risk

Neon work clock sends top-site hostnames from the new-tab page to favicongrabber.com for favicon lookup.

When the new-tab page loads, the extension reads Chrome's topSites list and reduces each visited URL to its scheme and host. For uncached icons, it requests favicongrabber.com with that top-site host so the page can display a favicon.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
