Is Night Search safe?
Night Search sends each Chrome top-site URL to nightsearch.org when opening its new-tab page.
When you open Night Search's new-tab page, it reads Chrome's topSites list and renders shortcuts for those sites. For each shortcut, the page loads a favicon from nightsearch.org with the visited site's URL included in the request.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Night Search 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.
