HIGH
Overall Risk
Trust Factors: The extension has a moderate user base of 40,000 users and an average rating of 3.5 stars, suggesting mixed user experiences. However, the lack of clear developer information and company details raises transparency concerns. The name "SysTrack Web Collection" suggests it's designed for system tracking or monitoring purposes, which could be legitimate for enterprise environments but concerning for general consumer use.
Concerns: The extension possesses an extremely powerful combination of permissions that creates significant privacy and security risks. The webRequest permission allows it to intercept and potentially modify all web traffic, while the broad host permissions (<all_urls>) grant access to every website you visit. Content scripts running on all HTTP and HTTPS sites can monitor and collect data from any webpage. This permission set is disproportionately broad for most legitimate use cases and creates opportunities for comprehensive user surveillance, data theft, or traffic manipulation.
Recommendations: Given the high-risk permission combination, consider running this extension in a completely separate Chrome profile if it's absolutely necessary for work purposes. Verify with your IT department if this is a required enterprise tool before installation. For personal use, avoid this extension entirely unless you fully understand and accept the extensive monitoring capabilities it possesses. Consider alternative solutions that require fewer invasive permissions for similar functionality.
