Is New Tab Changer safe?

Clean risk

New Tab Changer records the active tab URL locally for its last-URL and statistics features.

When an active tab updates, New Tab Changer stores that tab's URL in Chrome local storage unless the URL matches its built-in exclusions. If statistics are enabled, it also keeps the most recent URL for the current day alongside tab-count statistics.
