Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — confirmed traffic-monetization fingerprint.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — opens 3rd-party page on install.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy; not scoped to this extension at all.
• Free-webmail dev (gmail), no developer name, no business website — unverifiable identity.
• NewTab override with search permission = classic ad-monetization shell pattern.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://owhit.com/uninstall; classic monetization traffic capture.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/galaxy-wallpaper; 3rd-party domain, not dev-owned identity.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google account policy (479 KB); scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab → index.html; replaces every new tab for all users.
• free_webmail_no_devname store Developer email tekbatuhan64@gmail.com; developer_name empty; no business domain.
• js_external_hosts crx Extension references 8 external hosts including owhit.com, chatgpt.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, x.com.
• verified_publisher store Verified publisher badge present; mitigates reputation slightly but does not explain monetization URLs.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null (csp_present=false); MV3 default applies but no explicit hardening.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows interaction with browser search; relevant for NewTab override monetization.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab — prime monetization surface, search hijack vector.
