Top Risks

• NewTab override hijacks every new tab for traffic monetization via gameograf.com (UTM tracking).
• Uninstall and install URL hijacks redirect to 3rd-party gameograf.com — clear monetization shell pattern.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy (scope_extension=false, admits data collection & 3rd-party sharing) — +10 privacy.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no verified identity or business website.
• Extension contacts 5+ major-platform domains (YouTube, Netflix, Instagram, X, Google) with no stated functional need.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack manifest setUninstallURL → gameograf.com with UTM ovkas campaign; classic monetization shell uninstall redirect.
• install_url_hijack manifest onInstalled opens gameograf.com with UTM ovkas; confirms install-hijack pattern.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; every new tab is controlled by this extension.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google account privacy page; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_developer store Developer email willcansmithci@gmail.com; no business domain or verified publisher status.
• js_external_hosts_mismatch crx Extension contacts gameograf.com, youtube.com, netflix.com, instagram.com, x.com — unexplained for a wallpaper/newtab.
• operator_cluster_install_uninstall api sibling_count by install_url=2 and uninstall_url=2; same gameograf.com funnel used by sibling extensions.
• search_permission_with_newtab manifest search permission + newtab override combined = search monetization vector.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows querying the browser search engine; paired with newtab override raises monetization risk.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab; high-reach surface for ad injection and search monetization.
