Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — USA Flag Vibe Patriotic Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• Uninstall URL hijack to third-party owhit.com — classic monetization shell pattern.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com on every new install — tracks/monetizes installs.
• NewTab override combined with 'search' permission enables search-provider monetization.
• Privacy policy is Google's own policy (not scoped to this extension) — admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack manifest chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://owhit.com/uninstall (3rd-party monetization domain).
• install_url_hijack manifest onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/usa-flag-vibe-patriotic-live-wallpaper on every install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab replaces every new tab; reaches all users on all new-tab events.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google's own account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_dev store Developer email turgutlue78@gmail.com — no verified business identity, domain_age_ct not queried.
• js_external_hosts crx External hosts include owhit.com, chat.openai.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, x.com — broad unrelated origins.
• search_permission_newtab_combo manifest 'search' permission + newtab override is canonical ad-monetization fingerprint.
• no_csp crx content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit policy declared.
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — USA Flag Vibe Patriotic Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 5.47 -> 7.97 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows override of search provider; paired with newtab override amplifies monetization risk.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab with extension page — high-reach monetization surface.
