Context-Aware Verdict

MEDIUM
Overall Risk
Trust Factors:

The extension has a moderate user rating of 3.8 out of 5 stars with 368 reviews, indicating reasonable user satisfaction but not exceptional performance. The developer domain demobo.com appears to be a legitimate service provider for presentation tools. However, the lack of detailed developer information and missing technical specifications (size, user count, last update date) makes it difficult to fully assess the extension's maintenance status and popularity.

Concerns:

The primary concern is the use of Manifest Version 2, which has weaker security protections compared to the newer Manifest V3 standard. This older framework provides extensions with broader access capabilities and fewer restrictions on background processes. The incomplete technical details provided (missing permissions, host permissions, and other security-relevant information) prevent a comprehensive security assessment. Without knowing the specific permissions requested, it's unclear what system resources or data the extension can access.

Recommendations:

Consider looking for alternative presentation remote extensions that have migrated to Manifest V3 for better security. If you choose to use this extension, monitor its behavior closely and ensure it only accesses presentation-related functions. Running it in a separate Chrome profile would provide additional isolation if you're concerned about security. Check for updates regularly, as the developer may eventually upgrade to Manifest V3.

Findings
