Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic monetization shell pattern signaling low-quality traffic operator.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — opens 3rd-party page on install, exfiltrates install event.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy — does NOT scope to this extension despite admitting data collection and 3rd-party sharing (+10.0 privacy).
• Newtab override replaces all new tabs; search permission enables full search provider override for ad monetization.
• Free-webmail dev (gmail) with no verified publisher, no business domain — unaccountable developer identity.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL targets https://owhit.com/uninstall — 3rd-party monetization operator.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/my-melody-and-kuromi-hug-live-wallpaper — 3rd-party URL on install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; replaces every new tab page for all users.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy is Google account privacy policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_dev store Developer email yusufkerem050@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.
• csp_absent manifest content_security_policy is null on MV3 extension — no explicit CSP declared.
• search_permission_newtab_combo manifest search permission + newtab override enables full search/ad monetization pipeline.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows overriding search provider; paired with newtab override creates full search monetization surface.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab with extension page; primary monetization vector for traffic hijack.
