Is Venom Live Wallpaper - HD Animated Theme safe?

Low risk

Venom Live Wallpaper sends saved shortcut URLs to Google's favicon service when the new tab page renders.

The extension's new tab page stores user-added shortcut URLs and displays favicons for each shortcut. Each render loads those icons from Google's favicon endpoint, which includes the saved shortcut URL as the domain parameter.
