Top Risks
- THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — The Intriguing Shinobu Kocho Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
- Uninstall URL hijacks user to haberikra.com ad-tech/news portal — classic monetization shell.
- Install URL redirect to gameograf.com on first run; new-tab override captures all new-tab traffic.
- Privacy policy is Google's generic policy — not scoped to this extension; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
- 21-month stale update with newtab override and broad external JS hosts (netflix, youtube, instagram, x.com, chatgpt.com).
Evidence

- js_external_hosts_broad crx 9 external JS hosts incl. netflix.com, instagram.com, x.com, chatgpt.com, haberikra.com.
- months_since_update_21 store Last updated Dec 2024; 21 months stale → Maintenance +6.0.
