Is New Tab Redirect safe?

Clean risk

Redirects new tabs to a built-in app page, a selected Chrome page, or a custom URL.

This extension lets you choose what opens when you create a new tab, including Chrome pages, popular websites, about:blank, or a URL you enter. The custom destination can also be a local file path beginning with file:\, file://, or file:/// .

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.
