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.
- However, the lack of developer information and a low rating (3.7/5) raise concerns about the trustworthiness of the extension.
Concerns:
- The extension requests several high-risk permissions, including webRequest, tabs, and webNavigation, which could potentially be used to compromise security and privacy.
- The broad host permission (<all_urls>) allows the extension to access all websites, increasing the risk of data theft or tracking.
- The extension's large size (2.88MiB) is unusual for an ad-blocker and could indicate the presence of additional, potentially malicious code.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as it poses a high risk to your security and privacy.
- Consider using a reputable ad-blocker from a trusted source instead.
- If you decide to use this extension, it is recommended to run it in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to minimize potential risks.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and activity, and uninstall it if any suspicious behavior is detected.
