Is Yellow Search safe?

Low risk

Yellow Search sends default-search queries to yellow-search.com with a server-issued UID.

The extension makes Yellow Search the browser's default search provider, so search terms go to https://yellow-search.com/index.php. On install, it gets a UID from https://yellow-search.com/install.php and appends that persistent identifier as an f parameter to Yellow Search result URLs.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Yellow Search 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.
