Context-Aware Verdict

CRITICAL
Overall Risk
Trust Factors: The extension has a concerning trust profile with 400,000 users but only 16 ratings, suggesting potential artificial inflation of user numbers. The lack of developer information, empty description, and missing last updated date are major red flags. The high rating of 4.8 from such few reviews is suspicious and may indicate fake reviews.
Concerns: The extension requests an excessive combination of dangerous permissions that far exceed what most legitimate assistants require. The ability to read and write clipboard data combined with broad host permissions creates significant privacy risks, as it can capture sensitive information like passwords or personal data copied to clipboard. The broad content script injection across all websites enables the extension to modify any webpage, steal credentials, or inject malicious content. The tabs permission allows monitoring of browsing activity across all sites.
Recommendations: Do not install this extension due to its critical risk level and suspicious characteristics. If you must use it for essential functionality, create a completely separate Chrome profile with no access to sensitive accounts or data. Consider using established alternatives from reputable developers with transparent privacy policies. The combination of broad permissions, lack of developer transparency, and suspicious user metrics suggests this could be malware disguised as a productivity tool.
