Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — tracks/monetizes user offboarding.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — opens 3rd-party page on every install.
• Privacy policy is Google's own policy, completely unscoped to this extension; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
• NewTab override with free-webmail developer and no verified publisher — monetization shell pattern.
• Developer uses gmail address with no business domain; no verified publisher badge.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL points to https://owhit.com/uninstall — 3rd-party tracking/monetization on uninstall.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/seventeen-wallpaper — 3rd-party URL opened on every install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; extension replaces every new tab.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google's own account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_developer store Developer email yusufkerem050@gmail.com; no business domain; no verified publisher badge.
• js_external_hosts crx References 8 external hosts incl. chatgpt.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, x.com, youtube.com, owhit.com.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null (csp_present=false); MV3 default applies but no explicit policy.
• jquery_version crx jquery 3.7.1 bundled — current, no CVEs found.

Permissions Breakdown
