Is Speed Dial 2 New tab page safe?
Speed Dial 2 New tab page syncs bookmarks and per-site visit patterns to the vendor's server every two hours.
Each time a new tab opens, the extension sends bookmark hostnames to three third-party logo services (favicone.com, cdn.brandfetch.io, logo.clearbit.com) as image URL requests. A background alarm runs every 120 minutes and POSTs the full bookmark list—including titles, URLs, visit counts, and time-of-day visit patterns—to speeddial2.com using stored credentials. A separate daily alarm POSTs a full backup of the same data to the same server.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
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.
