Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively high number of users (50,000), which could indicate some level of trust.
- However, the low rating (2.2/5) and the lack of detailed developer information raise some concerns.
Concerns:
- The extension requests broad host permissions (<all_urls>), allowing it to access any website. This is a significant privacy and security risk.
- The "tabs" and "management" permissions are considered high-risk, as they allow the extension to manipulate browser tabs and manage other extensions, potentially compromising security and privacy.
- The "storage" permission, while not as concerning, still allows the extension to store data locally, which could be a privacy concern.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as it poses significant privacy and security risks due to its broad permissions and access.
- Consider running the extension in a separate browser profile or a sandboxed environment 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 violations.
- Look for alternative extensions with similar functionality but with more transparent developer information and fewer high-risk permissions.
