Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively high number of users (200,000), which could indicate some level of trust.
- The developer is a registered company (OPERATA, LLC), which adds some legitimacy.
- However, the extension has a low rating (3.3/5) with only 7 reviews, which raises some concerns.
Concerns:
- The extension requests broad host permissions (http://*/*, https://*/*), allowing it to access all websites. This is a significant privacy and security risk, as it could potentially be used to steal sensitive data or track browsing activity.
- The extension also requests system.cpu and system.memory permissions, which are not typically required for most extensions and could be a sign of potentially malicious behavior.
- The broad content scripts (http://*/*, https://*/*) further increase the risk of data exfiltration or browser hijacking.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as it poses a high risk to your privacy and security due to its broad permissions and system access.
- If you must use this extension, consider running it in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to isolate it from your main browsing activity.
- Closely monitor the extension's behavior and uninstall it if you notice any suspicious activity or performance issues.
- Seek alternative extensions with more limited permissions and better user reviews, if possible.
- Contact the developer for clarification on the necessity of the broad permissions and system access requested by the extension.
