Is Post and Search safe?
Post and Search sends each new-tab top-site hostname to Google's favicon service.
When its replacement new tab page renders, Post and Search reads Chrome's top-sites list and creates Google favicon image requests for each entry. Those requests include each top-site hostname in the domain_url parameter, but not full page paths or page contents.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Post and Search contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
