Is NewTab safe?
NewTab sends searches typed into its new tab page to search.cirrus.center.
When you type a query into NewTab's search box and press Enter or the search button, the extension redirects the browser to search.cirrus.center with your query in the URL. The code reads the search field on the new tab page and appends the encoded text to the search endpoint.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed NewTab contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
