Is Periyar Advanced safe?
Periyar Advanced sends precise GPS coordinates, live search-bar keystrokes, and saved-link/bookmark origins to its own backend.
When location mode is set to 'precise', the extension's weather widget reads the device's exact GPS coordinates and sends them to api.bonjourr.fr with each weather request. Separately, if the search bar's suggestion feature is enabled, every keystroke typed there is streamed over a live WebSocket to the same backend before the search is submitted. The new-tab quick-links and bookmark-import features also route each saved link's origin through an api.bonjourr.fr favicon proxy to fetch its icon.
