  • Privacy policy present but no data-retention disclosure and third-party sharing not mentioned.
  • Verified-publisher badge present but developer identity is anonymous gmail account.

Evidence

Permissions Breakdown

  • tabs medium Can read tab URLs and titles; moderate risk for an adblock extension.
  • declarativeNetRequest medium Blocks/redirects network requests; expected for adblockers, medium residual risk.
  • storage low Local settings storage only; low risk.
  • host_permissions: *://*/* high Broad host access across all sites; combined with content_scripts it can read/modify any page.
  • content_scripts: *://*/* high Content scripts injected on every page; broad reach even if no exfil detected today.
