HIGH
Risk Level
Trust Factors:

- The lack of developer information and a detailed description makes it difficult to assess the extension's legitimacy and purpose.
Concerns:

- The extension has access to the sensitive domain mail.google.com, which handles personal email communications, raising privacy concerns.
- The "activeTab" permission allows the extension to access the active tab when clicked, which could be exploited for malicious purposes.
- The "storage" permission enables the extension to store data locally, which could be misused to store sensitive information without the user's knowledge.
Recommendations:

- Consider running the extension in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to isolate potential risks.
