Top Risks

  • Privacy policy admits data collection + third-party sharing with no extension-specific scope — worst-case D rule applies (+10 privacy).
  • Contacts googleads.g.doubleclick.net (monetization) and fbadcollector.adspyder.io — ad-tech tracking inside an adblocker.
  • Uninstall URL hijack via bit.ly short-link: cloaked exfil/redirect destination on removal (+3 webstore).
  • Brand impersonation: claims Netflix affiliation without verified ownership, free-webmail dev (+2 reputation).
  • declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess + <all_urls>: can silently redirect or block any request on any site.

Evidence

  • monetization_host crx js_external_hosts includes googleads.g.doubleclick.net and fbadcollector.adspyder.io — ad-tech inside an adblock extension.
  • uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL targets https://bit.ly/ytadblockui — cloaked 3rd-party destination.
  • install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens 3rd-party URL (target null but flag true).
  • privacy_policy_classification api Policy fetched; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → D rule +10.
  • brand_impersonation store Netflix mentioned in title; developer domain is gmail.com, confirmed_owner=false, is_impersonation=true.
  • free_webmail_dev store Developer email autoskipyt@gmail.com with no verified business website; no publisher badge.
  • affiliate_hit crx bit.ly listed in js_external_hosts as affiliate/cloaking redirector.
  • declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess_all_urls manifest HIGH permission paired with <all_urls> — can intercept/modify every network request.

Permissions Breakdown

  • storage low Standard key-value storage, minimal risk.
  • unlimitedStorage low Extends storage quota; low direct risk.
  • declarativeNetRequest medium Can block/redirect network requests; matches adblock function.
  • declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess high HIGH perm: modifies requests on all hosts paired with <all_urls>.
  • declarativeNetRequestFeedback medium Reads which rules fired; can reveal browsing patterns.
  • <all_urls> (host_permissions) high Broad host access across every site; content scripts injected everywhere.
