Is Nyan Cat Wallpaper safe?
Nyan Cat Wallpaper sends top-sites page URLs from its new-tab page to Google's favicon endpoint.
When its new-tab page loads, Nyan Cat Wallpaper asks Chrome for the browser's top sites and renders up to ten of them. For each entry, it builds a Google favicon URL using the visited page URL as a query value, which causes those URLs to be sent to Google while loading icons.
