Context-Aware Verdict

MEDIUM

Risk Level

Trust Factors:

- The extension has a relatively high number of users (1,000,000) and a good rating (4.8/5), which suggests that it is a popular and well-received extension.

- The developer information is provided (foxified.org), which adds some transparency.

Concerns:

- The extension requests the "unlimitedStorage" permission, which allows it to store an unlimited amount of data locally. This could potentially be a privacy concern if the extension collects and stores sensitive user data.

- The extension has broad host permissions that allow it to access many or all websites. This could potentially be used to track browsing activity or steal sensitive data from websites.

Recommendations:

- Review the extension's privacy policy and terms of service to understand how user data is collected, used, and stored.

- Consider running the extension in a separate Chrome profile or incognito mode to isolate it from your main browsing session and limit potential privacy risks.

- Monitor the extension's behavior and resource usage to ensure it is not engaging in any suspicious activities.

- Keep the extension updated to the latest version to ensure any security vulnerabilities are patched.

- If you have concerns about the extension's permissions or behavior, consider uninstalling it and finding an alternative with fewer permissions or better privacy practices.
