Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — hard Webstore +3.0 monetization-shell signal.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — third-party onboarding redirect on every install.
• NewTab override with 'search' permission — full search-provider replacement surface with ad monetization risk.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy — not scoped to this extension at all; admits data collection and third-party sharing.
• Free-webmail dev (gmail), no verified publisher, no business website — unverifiable accountability.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://owhit.com/uninstall (third-party domain, monetization-shell pattern).
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/benfica-wallpaper (third-party domain on every install).
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; replaces every new tab with extension-controlled page.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google Account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_dev store Developer email demorelmert101@gmail.com; no business domain; no verified publisher badge.
• js_external_hosts crx JS references 8 external hosts including owhit.com, chatgpt.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, youtube.com, x.com.
• new_tab_override_with_search_permission manifest Combination of newtab override + search permission is a classic NewTab monetization shell pattern.
• operator_cluster_owhit crx Fingerprint anchored to owhit.com install/uninstall URLs; throwaway-pattern operator domain.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows querying the browser search API; paired with NewTab override, enables search provider manipulation.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab page; primary monetization surface for redirect/ad-injection shells.
