Top Risks

• Uninstall + install URL hijacking both point to owhit.com — classic monetization shell fingerprint.
• NewTab override with free-webmail Gmail dev and no verified publisher — high impersonation/monetization risk.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy (scope_extension=false, admits data collection + 3rd-party sharing) — effectively no extension-specific disclosure.
• Contacts major platforms (Netflix, YouTube, Instagram, X, OpenAI) from newtab JS — ad-tech aggregator pattern.
• Free-webmail developer with no business domain; developer_domain_info null; throwaway-account fingerprint.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL -> https://owhit.com/uninstall — 3rd-party redirect on uninstall.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/red-bull-racing-live-wallpaper/ — 3rd-party URL on install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; search permission also declared — monetization-shape NewTab.
• generic_privacy_policy store Policy URL is Google account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_dev store Developer email ysaniye567@gmail.com — free webmail, no business domain, no verified publisher.
• js_external_hosts_broad crx JS contacts 8 external hosts incl. Netflix, Instagram, YouTube, X, OpenAI, owhit.com — aggregator pattern.
• csp_absent_mv3 manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit CSP declared.
• new_tab_monetization_shape store NewTab + install/uninstall hijack + owhit.com operator + search permission = monetization shell cluster.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows search provider interaction; paired with newtab override increases monetization risk.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab — high-value real estate for ad injection and search monetization.
