Context-Aware Verdict

MEDIUM
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively high number of users (200,000) and a good rating (4.8/5), indicating some level of trust from the user community.
- The developer is a registered company (Upwards Company Inc.), which adds credibility compared to an unknown individual developer.
Concerns:
- The extension requests the "storage" permission, allowing it to store data locally on the user's device. While this permission is often required for extensions to function properly, it also introduces potential privacy risks if misused.
- The extension has an extensive list of content script permissions, granting it access to a wide range of Google domains across various countries. This broad access may be necessary for the extension's functionality but also increases the potential attack surface.
Recommendations:
- Review the extension's privacy policy and terms of service to understand how user data is handled and stored.
- Consider running the extension in a separate Chrome profile or an incognito window to isolate it from your main browsing session, especially if you handle sensitive information.
- Regularly check for updates and reviews from other users to monitor for any potential issues or privacy concerns.
- If you have concerns about the extension's permissions or behavior, consider uninstalling it and exploring alternative solutions that better align with your privacy and security requirements.
