Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Proton VPN — Безопасный доступ [browser-hijack] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• Impersonates Proton VPN brand — dev is gmail user with no affiliation; proxy permission enables full traffic interception.
• Install hijack opens primeproxy.space on install — unknown third-party monetization/phishing destination.
• Privacy policy is Google's own policy (not scoped to this extension); data_collection and third_party_sharing both true.
• Free-webmail dev (imawocigi29@gmail.com), no developer name, no verified publisher — zero accountability.
