Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a large user base of 1,000,000 users, which suggests some level of trust and popularity.
- The rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars from 94 reviews indicates generally positive user experiences.
- However, the lack of developer information or a company reputation makes it difficult to fully assess the trustworthiness of the extension.
Concerns:
- The extension requests broad host permissions (<all_urls>) and can inject content scripts into any website, raising privacy and security concerns.
- The unlimitedStorage permission allows the extension to store an unlimited amount of data locally, which could potentially be misused to store sensitive user data.
- The activeTab permission grants access to the active tab, which could be exploited to capture sensitive information or perform unauthorized actions.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when using this extension, as it has broad permissions that could potentially compromise your privacy and security.
- Consider running the extension in a separate Chrome profile or an incognito window to isolate its activities from your main browsing session.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and activities, and uninstall it if you notice any suspicious behavior or if you no longer need its functionality.
- Look for alternative extensions with similar functionality but more transparent developer information and more limited permissions.
