Is Window Resizer safe?
Window Resizer sends open-tab URLs to Google's favicon service when its popup displays saved tabs.
The extension enumerates non-extension browser tabs and stores tab URLs and titles locally for its popup. When the popup renders those tabs, it loads favicon images from Google's favicon endpoint with the tab URL in the domain query parameter.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Window Resizer 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.
