Context-Aware Verdict

CRITICAL
Overall Risk
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively large user base of 100,000 users, which could indicate some level of trust and popularity.
- However, the developer information is limited, and the company "a9t9 software GmbH" does not have a well-established reputation.
- The extension's description is missing, which raises some concerns about transparency.
Concerns:
- The extension requests an extensive list of permissions, many of which are considered high-risk and potentially unnecessary for the extension's functionality.
- The broad host permissions (<all_urls>) and content script injection capabilities raise concerns about potential privacy violations and data theft.
- The ability to read and write to the clipboard, access bookmarks, and modify cookies could lead to sensitive data exposure or browser hijacking.
- The debugger permission allows the extension to manipulate other extensions and applications, which could be exploited for malicious purposes.
- The unsafe WebAssembly execution policy increases the risk of hidden malicious code or resource-intensive operations.
Recommendations:
- Exercise extreme caution when installing this extension, as it poses a critical risk to your browser's security and privacy.
- If you must use this extension, consider running it in a separate browser profile or a sandboxed environment to isolate it from your main browsing activities.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and revoke any unnecessary ones to minimize potential risks.
- Monitor your browser's behavior and uninstall the extension immediately if you notice any suspicious activities or performance issues.
- Consider using alternative extensions from reputable developers with a clear purpose and minimal permissions required.
