MEDIUM
Overall Risk
Trust Factors: The extension has a decent rating of 4.5 stars from 18 reviews and is associated with gameograf.com, which appears to be a gaming website. However, the relatively low user count of 1,000 users and limited developer information raises some trust concerns. The gaming theme suggests this is likely an entertainment extension rather than a productivity tool.
Concerns: The primary concern is the broad host permissions to api.gameograf.com, which allows the extension to communicate with external servers. While this is limited to a specific domain rather than all websites, it still creates potential privacy risks as user data could be transmitted to third-party servers. The "search" permission combined with external API access could potentially allow tracking of search behavior or other browsing patterns.
Recommendations: This extension presents moderate risk due to its external API communications. Consider running it in a separate Chrome profile if you're concerned about data privacy. Before installing, verify that gameograf.com is a legitimate gaming site and review their privacy policy to understand how your data might be used. Monitor the extension's behavior after installation and remove it if you notice any unexpected network activity or performance issues. Given the gaming nature, the permissions may be necessary for legitimate functionality, but remain cautious about what information might be shared with external servers.
