Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively high number of users (50,000), which could indicate some level of trust.
- However, there is limited information about the developer or company behind the extension, which reduces trust.
Concerns:
- The extension requests broad host permissions (*://*/*) and can inject content scripts into any website. These permissions are overly broad and unnecessary for most extensions, raising concerns about potential privacy violations or malicious activities.
- The "tabs" permission allows the extension to access and manipulate browser tabs, which could be misused for malicious purposes.
- The combination of these permissions raises significant security and privacy concerns, as the extension could potentially steal sensitive data, track browsing activity, or compromise user accounts.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as it poses a high risk to your security and privacy.
- If you must use this extension, consider running it in a separate browser profile or a sandboxed environment to isolate it from your main browsing activities.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and behavior, and uninstall it if you notice any suspicious activities.
- Consider using alternative extensions with more limited and specific permissions that align with their stated functionality.
- Report any suspicious behavior or potential security issues to the extension developer or the appropriate authorities.
