Context-Aware Verdict

MEDIUM
Risk Level
Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively low number of users (493), which could indicate a lack of widespread adoption and trust.
- The extension has a low rating of 2.1 out of 5, which raises some concerns about its quality and trustworthiness.
- The lack of developer information or a reputable company associated with the extension makes it difficult to assess its trustworthiness.
Concerns:
- The extension requests broad permissions to access all content on Amazon's websites (*://www.amazon.com/*, *://www.amazon.de/*, *://www.amazon.co.uk/*), which may be unnecessary for its stated purpose of displaying IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ratings.
- The extension uses an older Manifest Version (2), which has fewer security restrictions than the newer Manifest Version 3.
Recommendations:
- Consider using an alternative extension from a more reputable source or with a higher rating and more users, as this extension's low rating and lack of developer information raise trust concerns.
- If you decide to use this extension, it is recommended to run it in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to minimize potential risks.
- Monitor the extension's behavior and permissions closely, and remove it if it exhibits any suspicious or unwanted behavior.
- Keep an eye out for updates that migrate the extension to Manifest Version 3, which has improved security features.
