Context-Aware Verdict

MEDIUM
Overall Risk
Trust Factors:
- The extension is developed by a legitimate company, Teal Labs, Inc., which adds some credibility.
- It has a relatively high number of users (200,000) and a good rating (4.9/5), suggesting that many users find it useful and trustworthy.
Concerns:
- The extension has broad host permissions (http://*/*, https://*/*), allowing it to access all websites. This is a potential privacy concern as it could potentially track browsing activity or access sensitive data.
- The "activeTab" permission allows the extension to access the currently active tab, which could be a privacy risk if misused.
- The "storage" permission allows the extension to store data locally, which could be a concern if sensitive information is stored insecurely.
Recommendations:
- Consider running the extension in a separate Chrome profile or incognito mode to isolate it from your main browsing activity and sensitive data.
- Review the extension's privacy policy and terms of service to understand how your data is collected, used, and shared.
- Monitor the extension's behavior and permissions, and uninstall it if you notice any suspicious activity or privacy violations.
- Use caution when granting permissions to extensions, especially those that request broad host permissions or access to sensitive data.
- Consider using alternative job search tools or services that do not require installing a browser extension, if possible.
