🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
Top Risks
- Privacy policy is Google's generic policy — does not scope to this extension at all; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
- Install URL hijack: onInstalled opens paypal.me/neophoriac (3rd-party payment page).
- content_scripts match <all_urls> — extension runs on every page despite no host_permissions declared.
- No CSP + two innerHTML-from-variable DOM-XSS sinks across content scripts.
- Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no verified business identity and no domain.
Evidence

- featured_by_google store is_featured_by_google=true; modest trust signal, partial reputation offset.
- maintenance_stale store Last updated May 2025; 13 months since update maps to 6-month score band (+3.5).
