Is TeacherTab safe?
TeacherTab resolves your approximate location through IP geolocation services and sends coordinates to OpenWeather.
On each new tab load and every 30 minutes, TeacherTab contacts ipapi.co, ip-api.com, or ipinfo.io to get your city and coordinates from your IP address. It then sends the latitude and longitude to api.openweathermap.org to fetch local weather for the new-tab page.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 300k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 1 hostname
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.

What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 1.7. 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 TeacherTab 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.
