Extension Details

Developer: wallsflow.com

Rating: 4.7 ★ (33 ratings)

Users: 10,000

Context-Aware Verdict

MINIMAL

Overall Risk

Trust Factors:

The extension appears to be a simple theme or wallpaper extension focused on BMW M5 CS autumn imagery, which aligns with its name and the developer's domain "wallsflow.com" suggesting a wallpaper/theme service. With 10,000 users and a strong 4.7-star rating from 33 reviews, it demonstrates reasonable user satisfaction and adoption. The extension uses Manifest V3, which provides enhanced security protections compared to older versions.

Concerns:

The primary concern is the lack of detailed information about the developer and company behind wallsflow.com, making it difficult to assess their reputation and data handling practices. While the extension shows no technical security findings, the absence of specific permission details in the analysis makes it challenging to fully evaluate what access it requires. Theme extensions typically need minimal permissions, but verification would be ideal.

Recommendations:

This extension appears safe for general use given its minimal risk profile and positive user feedback. Users concerned about privacy could run it in a separate Chrome profile as a precautionary measure, though this seems unnecessary given the low risk assessment. Before installation, users should verify that the extension only requests permissions necessary for displaying themes or wallpapers. Monitor the extension's behavior after installation to ensure it performs only its stated function of providing BMW-themed visual content.
