Is Worldwide Clock Extension safe?
Worldwide Clock Extension sends new-tab search queries to search.worldwideclockextension.com with a fixed traffic ID.
When a user types into the extension's new-tab search box and clicks Search, the extension navigates to the search endpoint with the typed query in the q parameter and tid=973656. The stored evidence indicates this occurs from the extension's own new-tab page, not on arbitrary websites.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
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.
