Context-Aware Verdict

HIGH
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively low number of users (3,000) and ratings (4), which could indicate a lack of widespread trust or adoption.
- The lack of developer information or company reputation makes it difficult to assess the trustworthiness of the extension's source.
Concerns:
- The extension requests broad host permissions (*://*/*) and content script injection (*://*/*), allowing it to access and modify any website. These permissions are overly broad and potentially risky, as they could enable the extension to steal sensitive data or track browsing activity.
- The "storage" permission allows the extension to store data locally, which could be a privacy concern if sensitive information is stored.
- The "activeTab" permission grants access to the active tab, which could be misused to collect browsing data or perform unwanted actions.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as the broad permissions and lack of developer information raise security concerns.
- If you decide to use the extension, consider running it in a separate browser profile or incognito mode to isolate it from your main browsing activity.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and activity, and remove it if any suspicious behavior is observed.
- Look for alternative extensions from reputable developers that request only the necessary permissions for their stated functionality.
