Is OpenTabs: Save trees by surfing the web safe?
OpenTabs sends new-tab search terms and its click_id cookie to p.opentabs.org.
When you search from the OpenTabs new-tab page, the extension reads its click_id cookie and sends it with the search text to p.opentabs.org before opening the search. Its sponsored shortcuts also create a persistent local UID and send that UID with a country code to tiles.takernd.com to fetch sponsored tiles.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

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.

Where it sends data
