Extension Details

Context-Aware Verdict

CRITICAL
Overall Risk
Trust Factors: This extension presents significant trust concerns due to missing critical information. The absence of a name, description, author details, user count, ratings, and last update date makes it impossible to verify legitimacy or assess developer reputation. These missing identifiers are major red flags that suggest either a malicious extension or corrupted metadata.
Concerns:
- Complete lack of identifying information raises suspicions about legitimacy
- Excessive permissions including identity access, which can compromise user authentication
- Broad host permissions (*://*/*, <all_urls>) allowing access to all websites and sensitive data
- Desktop capture capability combined with identity permissions creates severe privacy risks
- Tab manipulation permissions enable potential session hijacking or data theft
- The combination of loginState and identity permissions could facilitate account takeover attacks
- Storage permissions allow persistent data collection across browsing sessions
- Background script capabilities enable continuous monitoring without user awareness
Recommendations:

Immediately remove this extension as it poses critical security risks. The missing metadata combined with dangerous permission combinations suggests potential malware. If you require similar functionality, research well-established alternatives with clear developer information, positive reviews, and transparent privacy policies. Before installing any replacement, verify the developer's reputation and ensure permissions align with stated functionality. Consider running unknown extensions in isolated Chrome profiles to limit potential damage.
