Is OmniTab New Tab safe?

Clean risk

OmniTab New Tab sends the active tab URL to api.omnitab.link when its popup opens.

When you open the extension popup, OmniTab New Tab reads the current active tab's URL and title. It immediately posts the URL to api.omnitab.link before you confirm adding the site's icon.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed OmniTab New Tab 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.
