Extension Details

Developer: getclearing.co

Rating: 5.0 ★ (3 ratings)

Users: 1,000

Context-Aware Verdict

CRITICAL

Overall Risk

Trust Factors:

The extension has very limited trust indicators with only 1,000 users and just 3 ratings, despite a perfect 5.0 rating. The developer domain "getclearing.co" appears to be related to property management services, which aligns with the Airbnb and VRBO permissions. However, the small user base and limited review history make it difficult to establish strong trust.

Concerns:

The extension exhibits several major red flags that justify the critical risk rating. The combination of cookies, webRequest, and tabs permissions creates a powerful surveillance toolkit that could intercept, modify, and steal sensitive data across websites. The broad content script injection capability (*://*/*) allows the extension to run code on any website you visit, far beyond its stated purpose of working with vacation rental platforms. The webRequest permission is particularly concerning as it can intercept all network traffic, potentially capturing login credentials, payment information, and personal data. The extension's access to sensitive financial domains (Airbnb payments) combined with these broad permissions creates significant privacy and security risks.

Recommendations:

Given the critical risk level, avoid installing this extension unless absolutely necessary for business purposes. If you must use it, run it in a completely separate Chrome profile isolated from your personal browsing and sensitive accounts. Regularly audit what data the extension might be collecting and consider alternative solutions with more limited permissions. Monitor your accounts for any suspicious activity if you choose to proceed.
