Context-Aware Verdict

MEDIUM

Overall Risk

Trust Factors:

The Emma Bridgewater extension has a strong rating of 4.6 stars from 2,000 user reviews, indicating generally positive user experiences. Emma Bridgewater is a legitimate British pottery and homeware company with an established brand reputation, which adds credibility to this extension. However, the lack of visible technical details like permissions, size, and update information makes it difficult to fully assess the extension's scope and maintenance status.

Concerns:

The primary concern is the use of an older Manifest Version, which provides fewer security protections compared to the current Manifest V3 standard. Older manifest versions have less restrictive security policies and broader permission models that could potentially be exploited. The missing technical information (permissions, host permissions, content scripts) prevents a complete security assessment, though this could indicate the extension has minimal functionality. The absence of recent update information raises questions about ongoing maintenance and security patches.

Recommendations:

Given the medium risk level, you could continue using this extension while monitoring for updates. Consider checking if Emma Bridgewater has released a newer version that uses Manifest V3. If you're particularly security-conscious, you might run this extension in a separate Chrome profile to isolate any potential risks. Regularly review the extension's permissions if they become visible, and consider alternatives if the extension remains unmaintained for extended periods.

Findings
