Is Rafiq: productivity new tab safe?
Rafiq sends your browser's location coordinates to Aladhan when its default prayer widget loads.
Rafiq replaces the new tab page with productivity and Islamic content widgets, including a prayer-time widget that is enabled by default. When no saved location exists, the widget asks the browser for geolocation and sends latitude and longitude to api.aladhan.com to retrieve prayer times. Its Quran reader also requests selected tafseer, surah, and ayah content over cleartext HTTP from api.quran-tafseer.com.
