Trust Factors:
- The extension has a relatively low number of users (248), which could indicate that it is not widely trusted or popular.
- The extension has only one rating, which is a low score of 1.0, suggesting that the user experience may not be satisfactory.
- The extension's description is minimal, and there is no information provided about the developer or company, which raises some concerns about transparency and accountability.
Concerns:
- The extension requests the "downloads" permission, which allows it to download files and access the download history. This permission is considered high-risk and could potentially be misused to compromise security or privacy.
- The extension has access to content scripts on the "https://*.slack.com/customize/emoji" domain, which could potentially allow it to modify or access sensitive information on Slack's emoji customization page.
Recommendations:
- Exercise caution when installing this extension, as the lack of information about the developer and the high-risk permission raise some security concerns.
- Consider running the extension in a separate Chrome profile or a sandboxed environment to isolate it from your main browsing activities and minimize potential risks.
- Monitor the extension's behavior and check for any suspicious activities, such as unauthorized file downloads or data access.
- Look for alternative extensions from reputable developers or companies that offer similar functionality but with better transparency and security practices.
- If you decide to use the extension, ensure that you keep your system and browser up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates.
