Top Risks
- Free-webmail dev (gmail) with no developer name raises accountability concern.
- webRequest + scripting + <all_urls>: full read/intercept capability on every site visited.
- No CSP: DOM-XSS sink (innerHTML) in popup.js has no mitigating policy.
- Privacy policy present but lacks data retention disclosure and third-party sharing is silent.
- Verified publisher / featured badges mitigate but do not eliminate broad-capability risk.
