Context-Aware Verdict

MEDIUM
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively small number of users (408), which could indicate that it is not widely trusted or popular.
- The developer information provided is limited, and there is no information about the company or individual behind the extension, making it difficult to assess their reputation.
Concerns:
- The "storage" permission allows the extension to store data locally, which could potentially be used to store sensitive information without the user's knowledge.
- The "activeTab" permission allows the extension to access the active tab when the extension icon is clicked, which could potentially be used to gather information about the user's browsing activity.
- The extension's purpose is not entirely clear from the description provided, which could raise concerns about its intended functionality.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing and using this extension, as the limited information available makes it difficult to assess its trustworthiness and potential risks.
- Consider running the extension in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to limit its access to sensitive data and browsing activity.
- Monitor the extension's behavior and data usage closely, and uninstall it if any suspicious activity is detected.
- Look for alternative extensions with similar functionality from more reputable developers or companies, if available.
