Is Weather Forecast safe?
Weather Forecast includes a shared OpenWeatherMap API key and sends weather requests to OpenWeatherMap.
The extension stores a built-in OpenWeatherMap API key when no saved key is present. It appends that key to weather, search, and forecast API requests sent from the popup.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Weather Forecast 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.
