Context-Aware Verdict
This section provides a Claude-based AI analysis that applies additional context to the risk. Results are not guaranteed to be accurate.
HIGH
Overall Risk
Trust Factors: The extension has a strong 4.9-star rating from 312 reviews and 10,000 users, indicating positive user experiences. The developer identity (getscreen.me) appears legitimate for a remote desktop service. However, the relatively small user base for a remote desktop tool raises some questions about market adoption.
Concerns: The permission set is extremely broad for any extension and particularly concerning given the remote desktop functionality. The clipboardWrite permission combined with broad host access creates significant privacy risks, as the extension could potentially capture and modify clipboard data across all websites. The tabs permission allows extensive browser manipulation capabilities. Most critically, the https://*/*host permissions grant access to all secure websites, which is excessive and creates opportunities for data interception. The storage permission, while necessary for functionality, adds to the overall risk profile when combined with other permissions.
Recommendations: Given the high-risk nature of this extension, run it in a completely separate Chrome profile dedicated solely to remote desktop activities. Never use this profile for banking, email, or other sensitive activities. Regularly audit what data the extension might be storing locally. Consider whether you truly need browser-based remote desktop access versus standalone applications that don't require such extensive browser permissions. Monitor your clipboard activity when the extension is active, and disable it when not actively using remote desktop features.
