Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic monetization/tracking shell pattern.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — tracks installs, opens 3rd-party page on install.
• Google Account privacy policy provided — does not scope to this extension; admits data collection and 3rd-party sharing.
• NewTab override with search permission and 8 external JS hosts including Instagram, Netflix, YouTube, X — broad reach for a wallpaper.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no verified identity — no accountability for future behaviour.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL points to https://owhit.com/uninstall — 3rd-party tracking on uninstall.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/my-neighbor-totoro-aesthetic-live-wallpaper — 3rd-party page on install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; replaces every new tab for all 1,000 users.
• 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 yagizsatilmis2@gmail.com; no verified publisher badge; no business domain.
• broad_js_external_hosts crx 8 external JS hosts: owhit.com, chat.openai.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, youtube.com, x.com, google.com, chrome.google.com.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit policy restricting script sources.
• new_tab_monetization_shape manifest NewTab + search override + uninstall/install URL hijacks to owhit.com = classic traffic-monetization cluster.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows overriding search provider; paired with newtab override amplifies monetization risk.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab page; primary surface for ad/redirect monetization.
