Is New Tab Redirect safe?
New Tab Redirect contacts picsum.photos for background images when its new-tab page loads.
New Tab Redirect replaces the browser's new-tab page and may request a daily background image from picsum.photos when that page loads. Those requests include the daily image seed and the browser viewport width and height in the URL, which also exposes the user's IP address to picsum.photos.
