Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com (+3.0 Webstore) — tracks user removal for ad/retargeting.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com (+2.0 Webstore) — opens 3rd-party page on install.
• Privacy policy is Google's own policy, not scoped to this extension; admits data collection & 3rd-party sharing → +10.0 Privacy.
• NewTab override + search permission: monetization shell pattern with 8 external JS hosts including Netflix, Instagram, YouTube, X.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no developer name and no verified business domain → elevated Reputation score.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack manifest chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://owhit.com/uninstall; 3rd-party tracking on removal.
• install_url_hijack manifest onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/aston-martin-f1-car-wallpaper; 3rd-party engagement capture.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; every new tab served by extension.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → score +10.
• free_webmail_no_dev_name store developer_email=dermanseven32@gmail.com; developer_name empty; no business domain verifiable.
• external_js_hosts crx 8 external hosts: chatgpt.com, chrome.google.com, owhit.com, google.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, youtube.com, x.com.
• new_tab_monetization_shell store NewTab+search override from gmail dev with uninstall/install hijack = classic traffic-monetization pattern.
• verified_publisher store verified_publisher=true but email is free-webmail; discount capped per v3.5 invariant 0c (monetization signals present).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows overriding search behavior; paired with newtab override elevates monetization risk.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab; prime vector for ad injection and search redirect monetization.
