Extension Details

Context-Aware Verdict

CRITICAL
Overall Risk
Trust Factors:

The extension presents significant trust concerns due to missing critical information. The name, description, author, and developer details are all blank, which is highly unusual and suspicious for a legitimate extension. With no user count, rating information, or identifiable developer, there are no positive trust indicators to evaluate. The lack of transparency raises immediate red flags about the extension's legitimacy and intentions.

Concerns:

The extension requests an extremely broad and invasive set of permissions that far exceed what most legitimate extensions require. The combination of all_urls access, webRequest interception, cookie manipulation, download capabilities, and universal content script injection creates a perfect storm for malicious activity. The extension can essentially monitor, modify, and control all web browsing activity, access sensitive data across all websites, manipulate downloads, steal authentication cookies, and inject malicious code anywhere. The duplicate storage permission listing suggests poor development practices or potential obfuscation attempts.

Recommendations:

Do not install this extension under any circumstances. The combination of missing developer information, excessive permissions, and critical security findings makes this extension extremely dangerous. If you have already installed it, remove it immediately and consider running a security scan. The broad permissions could enable data theft, credential harvesting, financial fraud, or complete browser compromise. Even running in a separate profile would not adequately mitigate these risks given the extension's capabilities.
