Is The Weather Tab safe?
The Weather Tab sends your latitude and longitude to OpenWeatherMap for its new-tab weather widget.
When its new-tab page loads, The Weather Tab asks for browser geolocation permission and stores the resulting latitude and longitude in localStorage. It then uses those coordinates in requests to OpenWeatherMap to fetch current weather and forecast data for the widget.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed The Weather 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.
