LOW

Overall Risk

Trust Factors:

The extension has a solid user base of 4,000 users with an excellent 4.8-star rating from 25 reviews, indicating positive user experiences. The developer website (sesohq.com) appears to be a legitimate SEO-focused company, which aligns with the extension's functionality for image search optimization. The extension uses Manifest V3, demonstrating compliance with modern Chrome security standards.

Concerns:

The primary concern is the extensive host permissions covering virtually every Google domain worldwide (over 150 country-specific Google domains). While this comprehensive coverage makes sense for a Google Image Search tool that needs to work across all international Google sites, it represents a very broad attack surface. The extension could potentially access and modify content on any Google property globally. Additionally, the lack of specific declared permissions in the manifest makes it difficult to assess what exact capabilities the extension has beyond content script injection.

Recommendations:

This extension appears relatively safe for general use given its focused functionality and positive user feedback. However, users concerned about privacy should be aware that the extension can access their activity across all Google services worldwide. For enhanced security, consider running it in a separate Chrome profile if you frequently use sensitive Google services. Monitor the extension's behavior and remove it if you notice any unexpected functionality beyond image search sizing features.
