The extension shows several concerning trust indicators. With only 2 users and a perfect 5.0 rating (likely from minimal reviews), there's insufficient user validation. The lack of developer information, company details, and last updated date raises significant transparency concerns. The extension appears to be newly published or abandoned, making it difficult to assess the developer's credibility or ongoing support.
The permission set is extremely broad and concerning for an extension with such limited adoption. The combination of tabs, clipboardWrite, and nativeMessaging permissions creates a powerful attack surface. The tabs permission allows comprehensive browser monitoring and manipulation, while clipboardWrite enables modification of sensitive clipboard data like passwords or personal information. The nativeMessaging permission is particularly alarming as it allows communication with native applications on your system, potentially bypassing browser security boundaries. The scripting permission combined with these others could enable sophisticated data exfiltration or system compromise.
Do not install this extension. The risk-to-benefit ratio is unacceptable given the minimal user base, lack of transparency, and excessive permissions. If you must evaluate it, use a completely isolated Chrome profile on a virtual machine with no sensitive data. Consider reporting this extension to Google for review due to the suspicious permission combination and lack of developer transparency.
