Is New Tab - Dream Afar: Wallpapers & Productivity Widgets safe?
This extension replaces the new tab page with wallpapers, productivity widgets, and quick access to AI chats.
It shows customizable wallpaper sources such as Google Earth View, Google Arts & Culture, Unsplash, or uploaded images, alongside widgets for search, shortcuts, tasks, weather, timers, clocks, notes, and countdowns. Users can arrange widgets, change display options, and adjust blur or brightness. The Ask AI widget places a typed question into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, and the store description says extension data is stored locally on the device.
