Context-Aware Verdict

CRITICAL
Risk Level
Trust Factors: The extension has a moderate user base of 10,000 users and a good rating of 4.5 stars from 23 reviews, suggesting some level of user satisfaction. The developer appears to be associated with vratnepenize.cz, which seems to be a Czech cashback or money-back service. However, the limited number of reviews relative to the user base and lack of detailed developer information raises some concerns about transparency.
Concerns: This extension exhibits extremely concerning permission combinations that far exceed what would be necessary for a typical cashback reminder service. The ability to inject content scripts into all websites while having access to tabs, web navigation tracking, request interception, and cookie manipulation creates a perfect storm for comprehensive user surveillance. The extension can essentially monitor and modify every aspect of your browsing experience across all websites, not just the two specified host domains. The unlimited storage permission suggests potential for extensive data collection and retention.
Recommendations: Do not install this extension on your primary browser profile. If you must use it for cashback services, create a completely separate Chrome profile dedicated solely to shopping activities and limit your browsing in that profile to only essential cashback-related sites. Consider using alternative cashback services that don't require such invasive browser extensions. Regularly audit what data the extension might be collecting and consider whether the cashback benefits justify the significant privacy risks.
