Risk Level
Trust Factors:

- The lack of developer information or company reputation makes it difficult to assess the trustworthiness of the extension's creators.
Concerns:

- The broad host permissions (*://*/*) allow the extension to access all websites, raising concerns about potential data theft or browsing activity tracking.

Recommendations:
- Exercise extreme caution when using this extension, as it poses a critical risk to your security and privacy due to its broad permissions and lack of transparency.
- If you must use this extension, consider running it in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to isolate it from your primary browsing activities.
