Top Risks

• Uninstall and install URL hijack both redirect to gameograf.com — confirmed monetization shell pattern.
• New-tab override combined with 'search' permission: classic ad-search revenue capture mechanism.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy — does not scope to this extension; admits data collection and third-party sharing.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no verified business identity; no publisher verification.
• Extension contacts major social/media platforms (YouTube, Instagram, Netflix, X) from new-tab page with no stated need.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → gameograf.com with UTM tags; 3rd-party monetization redirect confirmed.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens gameograf.com with same UTM campaign; double hijack confirms monetization shell.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html replaces every new-tab with extension content.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_developer store Developer email haluktaze37@gmail.com; no verified publisher; no business domain.
• external_js_hosts crx JS contacts gameograf.com, YouTube, Netflix, Instagram, X, Google from new-tab context.
• search_permission_newtab_combo manifest 'search' permission + newtab override is a known ad-search monetization fingerprint.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 provides some default but no explicit extension CSP declared.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows reading/manipulating search queries; combined with newtab override is a monetization pattern.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces new-tab page; primary vector for ad/search monetization in shell extensions.
