Context-Aware Verdict

CRITICAL
Overall Risk
Trust Factors: The extension is developed by AllDebrid, a legitimate premium download service with a known website (alldebrid.fr). With 50,000 users and a 4.0 rating from 168 reviews, it shows moderate adoption and user satisfaction. However, the developer information is minimal, which reduces transparency.
Concerns: The extension requests extremely broad permissions that far exceed what's typically needed for a download service integration. The combination of tabs, webRequest, webNavigation, and universal host permissions (*://*/*) creates a powerful surveillance capability that could monitor all browsing activity and intercept sensitive data across every website visited. The downloads permission, while expected for this type of service, combined with scripting and nativeMessaging permissions, could potentially be exploited to execute malicious code or exfiltrate files. The webRequest permission is particularly concerning as it allows modification of network traffic.
Recommendations: Given the critical risk level, avoid installing this extension on your primary browser profile. If you must use it, create a dedicated Chrome profile specifically for AllDebrid activities and limit browsing to only necessary sites while the extension is active. Consider using AllDebrid's web interface instead of the extension, or look for alternative download managers with more restrictive permissions. Regularly audit what data the extension might be accessing and consider the trade-off between convenience and privacy.
