Context-Aware Verdict

LOW

Risk Level

Trust Factors:

The extension has a reasonable user base of 20,000 users with a solid 4.3-star rating, indicating general user satisfaction. The developer identity is clearly associated with wallsflow.com, providing transparency. The extension serves a legitimate purpose as a new tab customization tool with animated wallpapers, which aligns with its requested permissions.

Concerns:

The storage permission, while flagged as medium-risk, is actually appropriate and necessary for this type of extension to save user preferences, wallpaper settings, and customization options. However, the limited number of reviews (31) relative to the user base suggests either recent growth or potentially inactive users. The lack of detailed developer information beyond the website could be improved for better transparency.

Recommendations:

This extension appears safe for general use given its legitimate functionality and appropriate permissions. The storage permission is justified for a new tab customization tool. Users can confidently install this extension in their main Chrome profile. To stay secure, periodically review what data the extension might be storing and ensure you're comfortable with wallsflow.com's privacy practices. Consider checking their website for privacy policy details before installation.
