Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic traffic-monetization shell pattern.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — opens 3rd-party page on install.
• NewTab override combined with search permission — search/newtab monetization surface.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy, not scoped to this extension; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no verified business and no real privacy policy — anonymous operator.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://owhit.com/uninstall; textbook monetization-shell uninstall redirect.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/valorant-jett-live-wallpaper; 3rd-party install redirect.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; every new tab captured by extension.
• search_permission manifest search permission declared alongside NewTab override; search monetization risk.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google account policy (scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true). Scores +10.0 under v3.5 rule D.
• free_webmail_developer store Developer email acelyasereflerim@gmail.com; no verified publisher, no business domain.
• js_external_hosts crx 8 external hosts including owhit.com, chat.openai.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, youtube.com, x.com.
• no_csp crx content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit policy declared.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows overriding search provider; medium risk, especially paired with NewTab override.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab with extension page; high monetization and redirect risk.
