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 has a relatively high number of users (20,000) and a decent rating (4.2/5), which suggests some level of trust from users.
- However, the developer information is limited, and there is no clear indication of a reputable company behind the extension.
Concerns:
- The extension requests broad host permissions (<all_urls>), allowing it to access all websites the user visits, which is unnecessary for a web page downloader.
- The extension has the "tabs" permission, which allows it to access and manipulate browser tabs, potentially compromising security and privacy.
- The "downloads" permission allows the extension to download files and access download history, which could be misused for malicious purposes.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as it requests unnecessary permissions that could potentially compromise your security and privacy.
- Consider using alternative web page downloader extensions from reputable developers that request only the necessary permissions.
- If you decide to use this extension, it is recommended to run it in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to minimize potential risks.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and behavior, and uninstall it if you notice any suspicious activity.
