Is Search favicons for G**gle (NOT AFFILIATED) safe?

Clean risk

Search favicons for G**gle sends Google result domains to the selected favicon provider to load site icons.

On Google search pages, the extension parses each result link's destination host and creates an image request for that host's favicon. By default that request goes to Yandex's favicon service, and the options can instead use DuckDuckGo's favicon service or request /favicon.ico directly from the result domain.
