Context-Aware Verdict

MEDIUM
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively low number of users (4,000), which could indicate a lack of widespread adoption and trust.
- The developer information is not provided, making it difficult to assess the reputation and trustworthiness of the developer.
- The extension has a decent rating of 4.2 out of 5, but with only 52 ratings, the sample size is small.
Concerns:
- The "tabs" permission is considered high-risk as it allows the extension to access and manipulate browser tabs, potentially compromising security and privacy.
- The "storage" permission, while medium-risk, allows the extension to store data locally, which could be a privacy concern if sensitive information is stored.
- The lack of developer information and the low number of users raise questions about the extension's trustworthiness and potential for malicious behavior.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as the high-risk "tabs" permission and the lack of developer information could pose security and privacy risks.
- If you decide to use this extension, consider running it in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to minimize potential risks.
- Monitor the extension's behavior and check for any suspicious activities, such as unauthorized tab manipulation or data collection.
- Look for alternative extensions with similar functionality from reputable developers and with a larger user base, as they may be more trustworthy and better reviewed.
- Keep the extension updated and uninstall it if you no longer need its functionality or if security concerns arise.
