Is Ready Mail New Tab safe?

Low risk

Ready Mail New Tab exposes its persistent install alias to newtabtools.com pages.

When newtabtools.com pages load, the extension reads its per-install alias from Chrome sync storage and adds it to the page DOM with the extension version. Scripts on those matched pages can read that alias, making the persistent identifier available to newtabtools.com.

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

Shared hosts - 2 hostnames

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
