Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH
Overall Risk
Trust Factors: Supademo appears to be a legitimate business tool for creating interactive demos, with a solid 4.8-star rating from 41 reviews and 40,000 users. The company name "Supademo, Inc." suggests an established business entity. The extension's purpose of creating AI-powered interactive demos aligns with its requested permissions for screen capture and web interaction capabilities.
Concerns: The extension requests extremely broad permissions that create significant privacy and security risks. The combination of tabs, webNavigation, and <all_urls> host permissions means it can monitor all your browsing activity across every website you visit. The tabCapture permission allows it to record screen content, which could potentially capture sensitive information like passwords or personal data. The system.display permission provides access to display information, and the scripting permission allows code injection into web pages. While these permissions may be necessary for demo creation functionality, they create a powerful surveillance capability that extends far beyond what most users would expect.
Recommendations: Consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile dedicated to demo creation work to isolate it from your personal browsing. Only enable the extension when actively creating demos, and disable it during regular browsing. Review what data the extension collects in their privacy policy. If you must use it in your main profile, regularly audit your browsing activity and consider using incognito mode for sensitive tasks when the extension is active.
