Top Risks

• Uninstall and install URL hijack both redirect to gameograf.com — classic monetization shell pattern.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy; not scoped to this extension, admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing → +10 privacy pillar.
• NewTab override replaces every new tab with extension-controlled page; combined with search permission is a search-monetization funnel.
• No developer name supplied; no clear accountability for data handling.
• js_external_hosts includes gameograf.com plus major social/streaming sites with no declared host_permissions — undisclosed reach.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → gameograf.com with UTM campaign tagged to ovkas; textbook monetization shell.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens gameograf.com/?utm_source=ovkas; stacks with uninstall hijack for dual monetization event.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; every new tab is extension-controlled, enabling ad/search injection.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is myaccount.google.com/privacypolicy — Google's own policy, not scoped to this extension at all.
• privacy_policy_classification api scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → v3.5(D) triggers +10.0 privacy.
• js_external_hosts crx gameograf.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, youtube.com, x.com contacted despite no host_permissions declared.
• no_developer_name store developer_name is empty string; Reputation +1.0 for no 'Offered by' identity.
• verified_publisher store verified_publisher=true; grants -3.0 reputation discount, but 0c cap does not apply (no CVEs, domain resolves, no monetization hits).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Can manipulate search provider; medium-risk on its own but combined with newtab override raises concern.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab page; high monetization surface, funnels all new-tab traffic through extension.
