In-depth safety analysis
This extension replaces the new tab page with a customizable dashboard. To do that, it requests permissions like storage (to save your settings and layout), tabs (to manage or interact with the new tab), and search (likely to integrate a search box). It also asks for identity access and host permissions for its own domains (gntd.us and api.gntd.us), which suggests it may offer account sync or authentication features tied to its own service.
For a general browser extension in this category, users should be aware that any tool with access to the new tab page can technically see what you type into an integrated search bar or track the websites you visit from that page. The developer's privacy disclosure lists collection of web history, location, and personally identifiable information, so a careful user should review the extension's privacy policy to understand exactly what is logged and how it is used.
This extension scores well overall, with a perfect maintenance score indicating active and recent updates. The weakest area is publisher identity, which simply means there is less publicly available information about the developer's track record or organization. The strong community reputation and high permission-access score suggest the requested capabilities are reasonably aligned with its stated functionality.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.
