Extension Details
Context-Aware Verdict
The extension has extremely low adoption with only 18 users and no ratings, which raises questions about its legitimacy and quality. The developer "owhit.com" lacks established reputation or verifiable company information. The extension appears to be a live wallpaper application, which is a common category but also frequently used as a cover for malicious extensions.
The "search" permission is concerning and appears unnecessary for a live wallpaper extension. Live wallpapers typically only need to modify the new tab page or background, not access search functionality. This permission could potentially allow the extension to intercept or modify search queries, redirect searches, or collect search data. The extremely low user count combined with this suspicious permission creates a red flag scenario.
The lack of any ratings or reviews makes it impossible to verify the extension's actual functionality or user experience. Extensions with such low adoption rates often indicate either very new releases (which could be legitimate) or potentially malicious software that hasn't gained traction.
Given the unnecessary search permission and lack of user validation, consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile if you must use it. Better yet, look for well-established live wallpaper extensions with higher user counts and verified functionality. Monitor your search behavior closely if installed, and remove immediately if you notice any search redirections or unexpected behavior.
