Top Risks
- Privacy policy admits data collection + third-party sharing with no extension-specific scope (scores max).
- webRequest + broad host access to Facebook/Instagram/X.com enables session token observation.
- Brand impersonation: mentions twitter/facebook/instagram without verified ownership; gmail dev.
- Uninstall URL hijack to third party detected; no developer name listed.
- innerHTML + new Function() in content scripts with no CSP amplifies DOM-XSS risk on major social platforms.
