Context-Aware Verdict

CRITICAL
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively high number of users (40,000), which could indicate some level of trust and popularity.
- However, the extension has a low rating (3.0) based on only 3 reviews, which raises some concerns about its quality and trustworthiness.
- The developer information provided is minimal, and it's unclear if the company (株式会社ヴァリューズ) is a reputable or well-known entity.
Concerns:
- The extension requests a broad range of permissions, including webRequest, webNavigation, tabs, and <all_urls> host permissions, which could potentially be abused for malicious purposes, such as intercepting web requests, tracking browsing activity, and compromising security or privacy.
- The extension's description is vague and does not provide clear information about its functionality or purpose, which raises suspicions about its intentions.
- The extension has a relatively large size (3.8MiB), which could indicate the presence of unnecessary or potentially malicious code.
Recommendations:
- Exercise extreme caution when installing and using this extension, as it poses a critical risk to your security and privacy.
- If you must use this extension, consider running it in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to isolate it from your main browsing activities.
- Closely monitor the extension's behavior and network activity for any suspicious or unauthorized actions.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and revoke any unnecessary ones.
- Consider seeking alternative extensions from reputable sources that provide similar functionality with fewer permissions and better transparency about their purpose and code.
