Context-Aware Verdict
This section provides a Claude-based AI analysis that applies additional context to the risk. Results are not guaranteed to be accurate.
MEDIUM
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively small user base (103 users), which could indicate that it is not widely trusted or popular.
- The lack of developer information and a detailed description raises some concerns about the transparency and trustworthiness of the extension.
Concerns:
- The "activeTab" permission allows the extension to access and potentially modify the content of the active tab, which could be a privacy or security risk if the extension is not trustworthy.
- The "storage" permission allows the extension to store data locally, which could be a concern if the extension is collecting sensitive user data without proper consent or security measures.
- The lack of information about the extension's purpose and functionality makes it difficult to assess whether the requested permissions are necessary or excessive.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as the lack of information and small user base could indicate potential risks.
- Consider running the extension in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to isolate it from your main browsing activities.
- Monitor the extension's behavior and data usage, and uninstall it if you notice any suspicious activities or privacy concerns.
- Look for alternative extensions with similar functionality but from more reputable developers or with a larger user base, as they may be more trustworthy and transparent about their permissions and data handling practices.
