Is Photos New Tab safe?
Photos New Tab sends Google Photos OAuth token requests to Google with an embedded web client secret.
When users connect Google Photos, the extension exchanges authorization codes and refresh tokens with Google's OAuth endpoint. Those requests include OAuth credentials plus a hardcoded web client secret embedded in the extension bundle.
