Extension Details

Context-Aware Verdict

MEDIUM
Overall Risk
Trust Factors:

The extension lacks critical identifying information including name, description, author details, user count, and ratings, making it impossible to assess developer credibility or community trust. This absence of basic metadata is concerning and suggests either an incomplete listing or potentially suspicious origins.

Concerns:
- Missing essential extension metadata raises red flags about legitimacy
- Tabs permission allows extensive browser manipulation capabilities including reading URLs, titles, and controlling tab behavior across all websites
- Content scripts run on all HTTP/HTTPS sites, providing broad access to web page content
- Storage permission enables persistent data collection and retention
- The combination of tabs access with universal content scripts creates significant privacy and security exposure
- No visible developer information prevents verification of trustworthiness
- Unknown user base and rating history provide no community validation
Recommendations:

Given the missing metadata and powerful permissions, exercise extreme caution. Consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile to isolate potential risks from your main browsing environment. Before installation, try to verify the extension's source and purpose through official channels. Monitor your browsing behavior for any unusual activity if you choose to install it. The broad permissions combined with lack of transparency suggest this extension could access sensitive browsing data across all websites you visit.
