Is Tab for a Cause safe?

Low risk

Tab for a Cause routes each new tab through http://tab.gladly.io/newtab/ before any HTTPS redirect.

The extension replaces Chrome's new-tab page and immediately navigates the tab to http://tab.gladly.io/newtab/. That plaintext request tells tab.gladly.io that a new tab was opened and sends the requested URL and the user's IP address before any HTTPS redirect occurs.
