Top Risks

• Uninstall and install URL both hijack to gameograf.com ad-tech — confirmed monetization shell pattern.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy (scope_extension=false, admits data collection + 3rd-party sharing) — scores maximum privacy risk.
• Operator cluster of 4 sibling extensions under same email/uninstall/install URL fingerprint indicates factory-produced wallpaper farm.
• New-tab override contacts 6 external JS hosts (Instagram, Netflix, YouTube, X, Google, gameograf.com) — broad tracking/monetization surface.
• No CSP (csp_present=false) on MV3 extension with newtab override and multiple external JS hosts.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack manifest Uninstall URL redirects to gameograf.com with UTM params identifying Ovkas as traffic source.
• install_url_hijack manifest Install URL also redirects to gameograf.com — both lifecycle events funnel traffic to ad-portal.
• operator_cluster store 4 sibling extensions share same dev email, install URL, uninstall URL, and external host fingerprint.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google's global account policy: scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab=index.html replaces every new tab with extension content.
• js_external_hosts crx Extension contacts gameograf.com, Instagram, Netflix, YouTube, X.com, Google — 6 distinct external domains.
• no_csp crx content_security_policy is null; csp_present=false despite newtab override and multiple external JS hosts.
• domain_age api ovkas.com first cert 2023-09-24 (~1086 days), 80 certs — established but small indie dev with no verified publisher status.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows overriding search provider behavior; combined with newtab override creates search monetization surface.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces new-tab page entirely; primary mechanism for this wallpaper/monetization shell.
