Context-Aware Verdict
This section provides a Claude-based AI analysis that applies additional context to the risk. Results are not guaranteed to be accurate.
MEDIUM
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively small user base of 6,000 users, which could indicate a lack of widespread adoption or trust.
- The developer information is not provided, making it difficult to assess the reputation or trustworthiness of the developer.
- The extension has a decent rating of 4.2 out of 5, but with only 27 ratings, the sample size is small.
Concerns:
- The extension requests the "tabs" permission, which is considered a high-risk permission as it allows the extension to access and manipulate browser tabs, potentially compromising security or privacy.
- The "storage" permission allows the extension to store data locally, which could be a potential privacy concern if sensitive data is stored.
- The lack of developer information and the relatively small user base raise questions about the trustworthiness and reputation of the extension.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when using this extension, as it requests high-risk permissions and has limited information about the developer.
- Consider running the extension in a separate browser profile or a sandboxed environment to limit potential risks.
- Review the extension's code and behavior thoroughly to ensure it does not engage in any malicious or privacy-invasive activities.
- Monitor for any suspicious behavior or unauthorized access to your browser tabs or data while using the extension.
- Consider using alternative extensions with similar functionality from more reputable developers or with a larger user base and better transparency.
