Is Spring Wallpaper safe?
Spring Wallpaper sends Chrome top-sites URLs to Google's favicon service on its new-tab page.
When its custom new-tab page loads, Spring Wallpaper asks Chrome for the user's top sites and displays up to 10 most-visited pages. For each page, it builds a Google favicon request with the site URL in the domain query parameter, so those browsing-history URLs are sent to Google.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Spring Wallpaper 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.
