Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively high number of users (6,000), which could indicate some level of trust.
- The rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars from 53 reviews suggests that users generally find the extension useful and trustworthy.
- However, the lack of information about the developer or company behind the extension makes it difficult to assess their reputation and trustworthiness.
Concerns:
- The extension requests the "history" permission, which allows it to access the user's entire browsing history. This is a high-risk permission that could potentially compromise the user's privacy and security if the extension is malicious or compromised.
- The "unlimitedStorage" permission allows the extension to store an unlimited amount of data locally, which could be a privacy concern if sensitive information is stored.
- The Content Security Policy (CSP) allows "wasm-unsafe-eval," which permits the execution of potentially dangerous WebAssembly code. This could be used to hide malicious code or perform CPU-intensive operations, posing a security risk.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as it requests high-risk permissions and has the potential to compromise your privacy and security.
- If you decide to use this extension, consider running it in a separate Chrome profile or a dedicated browser instance to isolate it from your main browsing activities.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and behavior, and uninstall it if you notice any suspicious activities or privacy concerns.
- Consider using alternative extensions with similar functionality but fewer high-risk permissions or from more reputable developers.
