Is paint-tool-by-painty safe?

Question

Accepted Answer

paint-tool-by-painty is medium risk. When you type in Painty's optional new-tab search box, the extension sends the current search text to suggest.finditnowonline.com for autocomplete suggestions. This shares form input before you submit the search, and the extension listing is for a paint and screenshot tool rather than a search suggestion service. When the extension initializes automatically after install, it reads Chrome top sites and sends each site's hostname to api.thepainty.com to fetch favicons. This shares browsing-history-derived URLs and hostnames with Painty during background startup.
