Extension Details
Context-Aware Verdict
The extension has a strong user rating of 4.9 stars from 29 reviews, indicating positive user experiences. With 7,000 users, it has achieved moderate adoption without significant reported issues. The extension uses Manifest V3, which is Google's latest and more secure extension framework that provides better security controls and privacy protections compared to older versions.
The primary concern is the lack of transparency regarding the extension's functionality - the description field is empty, making it unclear what "Universe 1440p" actually does. This ambiguity makes it difficult for users to understand the extension's purpose and evaluate whether it's necessary for their needs. Additionally, there's no visible developer information, which reduces accountability and makes it harder to verify the extension's legitimacy.
Despite the minimal technical risk, exercise caution due to the unclear functionality. Before installing, try to research what this extension does through user reviews or external sources. Consider whether you actually need this extension's functionality once you understand what it provides. Since the technical risk is minimal and it uses modern security standards, it's likely safe to use in your main Chrome profile, but remain vigilant for any unexpected behavior after installation. If you're uncomfortable with the lack of transparency, consider looking for alternative extensions with clearer descriptions and developer information.
