Is Sports Tab safe?
Sports Tab sends precise location coordinates to OpenWeatherMap for its new-tab weather widget.
Sports Tab asks for browser geolocation and uses the resulting latitude and longitude in requests to OpenWeatherMap when its weather widget refreshes. Its new-tab top-sites widget also turns browser top-sites entries into Google favicon requests, which include the visited-site hostname.

Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.2.0. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Sports Tab 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.
