Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic monetization/tracking shell pattern.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — opens 3rd-party page on install, monetization signal.
• Privacy policy is generic Google Account policy, not scoped to this extension; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
• NewTab override + search permission with free-webmail-only developer identity — no accountable operator.
• 9 external JS hosts including yowgames.com, owhit.com, and major platforms contacted from a 55-install wallpaper extension.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack manifest chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://owhit.com/uninstall; 3rd-party monetization shell pattern.
• install_url_hijack manifest onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/barcelona-live-wallpaper; 3rd-party install redirect.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; replaces new tab for all users.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google Account policy (479KB); scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_developer store Developer email ysaniye567@gmail.com (numbered alias pattern), no verified business domain.
• js_external_hosts crx 9 external hosts: owhit.com, yowgames.com, chat.openai.com, instagram, netflix, youtube, x.com, google — unusual for wallpaper.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit hardening.
• low_install_count store Only 55 installs with 0 rating; very low trust signal for a published extension.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows overriding search behavior; paired with NewTab override raises monetization risk.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces new tab page — primary vector for search monetization and ad injection.
