Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively low number of users (7,000), which could indicate a lack of widespread trust or popularity.
- The developer information is not provided, making it difficult to assess their reputation or trustworthiness.
Concerns:
- The extension requests the "tabs" permission, which allows it to access and manipulate browser tabs, potentially compromising security and privacy.
- The extension has broad host permissions, enabling it to access all websites, which could lead to data theft or browsing activity tracking.

Recommendations:

- Consider running the extension in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to mitigate potential risks.
- Regularly review the extension's permissions and activity, and uninstall it if any suspicious behavior is detected.
