Is Podcast Hero, Best Podcasts and Search safe?

Low risk

Podcast Hero loads remote Google Analytics JavaScript on its custom new-tab search page.

Podcast Hero replaces the browser's new-tab page with a Bing search form and loads Google Analytics code from ssl.google-analytics.com. The page records a page view and a search-submit event, and the analytics code can include a PodcastUserId cookie value if one is present.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
