Extension Details
Context-Aware Verdict
The extension has concerning trust indicators with only 9,000 users and a poor 2.0-star rating from 72 reviews, suggesting user dissatisfaction. The name "SUSCHEGG Unlocker" implies it's designed to bypass paywalls or access restrictions on educational platforms, which raises ethical and legal concerns. The developer domain "suschegg.com" appears to be mimicking the legitimate Chegg brand, which is a red flag for potential trademark infringement or deceptive practices.
The extension targets multiple major educational platforms (Chegg, Bartleby, CourseHero, Quizlet, Numerade, Study.com, Scribd) through content scripts, suggesting it's designed to circumvent these services' subscription models or access controls. This type of functionality likely violates the terms of service of these platforms and could potentially expose users to account suspension or legal issues. The poor user rating indicates the extension may not work as advertised or could contain problematic code. The suspicious naming convention mimicking established brands raises concerns about the developer's intentions and legitimacy.
Avoid installing this extension due to its questionable purpose and poor reputation. If you need access to educational resources, consider legitimate subscription options or free alternatives. The extension's design to bypass paid content could result in account bans from educational platforms and potential legal consequences. The low rating and suspicious branding suggest this extension is unreliable and potentially harmful to your academic standing.
