Is Search New Tab safe?

Clean risk

Search New Tab sends typed new-tab search queries to AskAI Browser API with install and user headers.

When you type in the extension's new-tab search box, Search New Tab requests suggestions from api.askaibrowser.com and requests results when you submit the search. Those requests can include the extension's stored install ID and, if you are signed in, an authorization token, and completed searches are redirected through askaibrowser.com/ref/ with the search text in the URL.
