Is OnThisDayTab safe?

Medium risk

OnThisDayTab sends new-tab search terms and typed URLs to ext.iadispatcher.com.

OnThisDayTab replaces the new-tab page with a search box labeled for searches or typed URLs. When a user submits that form, it sends a GET request to ext.iadispatcher.com with the entered q value and a campaign parameter.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed OnThisDayTab 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.
