Is Star Wars Weather safe?
Star Wars Weather sends visited-site hostnames to Google and precise location to OpenWeather for new-tab features.
When optional new-tab shortcuts or history suggestions are enabled, Star Wars Weather reads top sites or history matches and loads Google favicon URLs with each site's hostname. Its weather widget resolves automatic geolocation or stored manual coordinates and sends latitude and longitude to OpenWeather weather and reverse-geocoding APIs. It also sends extension usage events with a persistent pseudonymous user ID to a Moderok AWS endpoint.
