Top Risks

• NewTab override hijacks every new tab; combined with uninstall+install URL hijacks to owhit.com indicates monetization shell.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy — scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true; scores maximum privacy risk.
• Free-webmail dev (gmail) with no verified business; uninstall/install hooks point to unknown third-party domain owhit.com.
• JS external hosts include chat.openai.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, youtube.com, x.com — broad third-party reach inconsistent with a wallpaper extension.
• No content security policy on MV3 extension with 8 external JS hosts contacted from new-tab page.

Evidence

• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab=index.html; every new tab hijacked by this extension.
• uninstall_url_hijack crx setUninstallURL -> https://owhit.com/uninstall; classic monetization/tracking shell signal.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/thragg-live-wallpaper; third-party redirect on install.
• generic_privacy_policy store Policy URL is Google account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_dev store Developer email turgutlue78@gmail.com; no verified business domain; dev name 'chromewallpaper' is generic.
• broad_external_js_hosts crx 8 external hosts: owhit.com, chat.openai.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, youtube.com, x.com, etc.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit CSP with 8 external hosts.
• new_tab_monetization_shape store NewTab + search permission + install/uninstall URL hooks to owhit.com = classic traffic-monetization cluster.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows querying the browser's search API; combined with NewTab override enables search hijacking.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab page; high monetization and tracking surface area.
