Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH
Overall Risk
Trust Factors:

The extension is developed by Daisycon, which appears to be a legitimate affiliate marketing company. However, the trust indicators are concerning with only 1,000 users and just 3 ratings, suggesting limited adoption and verification. The perfect 5.0 rating from such a small sample size provides minimal confidence in the extension's reliability.

Concerns:

The extension requests highly sensitive permissions that seem excessive for a typical affiliate marketing tool. The identity permission is particularly concerning as it can access personal authentication data. The tabs permission allows monitoring and manipulation of all browser tabs, creating significant privacy risks. The broad host permissions, while limited to Daisycon domains, still represent elevated access. The combination of identity, tabs, and storage permissions creates a powerful surveillance capability that could be misused to track user behavior across websites or access sensitive account information.

Recommendations:

Given the high-risk profile, install this extension only in a separate Chrome profile dedicated to affiliate marketing activities. Regularly review what data the extension accesses through Chrome's privacy settings. Consider whether the functionality truly requires such extensive permissions - contact Daisycon to understand why identity and tabs permissions are necessary. Monitor your accounts for any unusual activity after installation. If possible, use alternative affiliate tracking methods that don't require browser extensions with such broad access.
