• content_scripts_matches_broad manifest content_scripts_matches: ['*://*/*'] gives page-level access to every site visited.
• privacy_policy_unscoped_with_sharing store Policy at yowgames.com: scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → +10 privacy.

• external_js_host_owhit crx js_external_hosts includes owhit.com — same domain as install/uninstall hijack target.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 provides default but no explicit hardening declared.
• tiny_install_base store Only 38 installs; rating 0 — negligible trust signal, limited reach but monetization pattern present.
