Is YouCare - The charitable search engine safe?
Sets charitable web search as the default search experience in Chrome.
This extension adds YouCare as the default search engine so searches can contribute to causes such as reforestation, meals for shelter animals, and cancer treatment research. It also provides shortcuts to common web services, customizable quicklinks on the home tab, and an optional partners feature for purchases on e-commerce partner websites.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
2 other listings published from this account, 2k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
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.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed YouCare 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.
