Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic monetization shell pattern tracking user churn.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — on-install redirect to 3rd-party site.
• NewTab override + search permission = search monetization funnel for all new tabs.
• Privacy policy is Google's own account policy — not scoped to this extension, admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail), no developer name, no business domain — anonymous operator.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL -> https://owhit.com/uninstall; 3rd-party tracking on uninstall.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/grinch-wallpaper; 3rd-party redirect on install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; replaces every new tab for all users.
• generic_privacy_policy store Policy URL is Google account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• anonymous_developer store developer_name empty, email fatmadone64@gmail.com (free webmail), no business domain.
• external_js_hosts crx 8 external hosts including owhit.com, chatgpt.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, youtube.com, x.com.
• newtab_monetization_shape manifest NewTab + search override combo is canonical search-monetization shell pattern.
• verified_publisher_free_webmail store verified_publisher=true but dev email is gmail; verification does not establish business identity.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Can set default search provider; paired with newtab override for search monetization.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new-tab page; high-reach monetization surface.
