Context-Aware Verdict
This section provides a Claude-based AI analysis that applies additional context to the risk. Results are not guaranteed to be accurate.
HIGH
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension is developed by a reputable cybersecurity company, Norton, which adds some trust.
- However, the low rating of 1.9/5 from 187 reviews raises concerns about the extension's performance or potential issues.
Concerns:
- The extension requests several high-risk permissions, including tabs, webNavigation, webRequest, and the ability to inject content scripts into any website. These permissions could potentially be abused to compromise user privacy and security.
- The broad host permissions (http://*/*, https://*/*) allow the extension to access all websites, which is concerning from a privacy standpoint.
- The extension can store unlimited data locally, which could be a privacy risk if sensitive user data is stored insecurely.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as it has broad permissions that could potentially be exploited for malicious purposes.
- Consider running the extension in a separate browser profile or a sandboxed environment to isolate it from your main browsing activity.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and behavior, and uninstall it if you notice any suspicious activity or performance issues.
- Check for updates from Norton and trusted sources to ensure you have the latest version with any security fixes or improvements.
- If you don't require the extension's functionality, it's recommended to uninstall it to minimize potential risks.
