Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively low number of users (227) and few ratings (2), which could indicate it is not widely trusted or used.
- The lack of developer information and a detailed description raises some concerns about the extension's legitimacy and purpose.
Concerns:
- The extension requests broad host permissions (https://api2.amplitude.com/*) and can inject content scripts into any website (<all_urls>), which could potentially be used for tracking browsing activity or stealing sensitive data.
- The storage, activeTab, and contextMenus permissions are not necessarily concerning on their own, but their necessity is unclear given the lack of information about the extension's functionality.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as the broad permissions and lack of transparency about its purpose raise significant privacy and security concerns.
- If you decide to use the extension, consider running it in a separate browser profile or a sandboxed environment to limit potential risks.
- Look for alternative extensions from reputable developers that provide similar functionality but with more transparency and limited permissions.
- Report the extension to the Chrome Web Store if you suspect any malicious behavior or privacy violations.
