Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic traffic-monetization shell pattern (+3.0 Webstore).
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — opens 3rd-party page on install (+2.0 Webstore).
• NewTab override combined with 'search' permission enables full search-query interception and ad monetization.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy — not scoped to this extension; policy ADMITS data collection + 3rd-party sharing → +10.0 Privacy.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no business website, no verified publisher, no featured badge → Reputation floor 7.5.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://owhit.com/uninstall; 3rd-party redirect confirms monetization shell.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/kitty-kawaii-couple-live-wallpaper — 3rd-party page on install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab=index.html replaces every new-tab; paired with search permission.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → +10.0.
• free_webmail_dev store ozkanvedat527@gmail.com — free webmail, no verified publisher, no featured badge; Reputation floor 7.5.
• js_external_hosts crx References 8 external hosts (owhit.com, youtube.com, netflix.com, instagram.com, x.com, chat.openai.com, etc.).
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null (MV3 strict default applies; no additional Network penalty per v2 rules).
• new_tab_monetization_shape store NewTab+search+uninstall hijack+install hijack = full monetization-shell fingerprint (+2.0+3.0+2.0 Webstore).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows reading/intercepting search queries; paired with NewTab override enables query monetization.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new-tab page; prime real estate for ad injection and search hijacking.
