Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic monetization shell tracking user churn.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — third-party landing page opens on installation.
• New-tab override with search permission: search-hijack and ad-monetization surface.
• Privacy policy is Google's own policy (unscoped), admitting data collection & third-party sharing without extension scope — worst-case privacy disclosure.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail), no verified publisher, no business domain — anonymous operator.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack manifest chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://owhit.com/uninstall; third-party tracking on uninstall.
• install_url_hijack manifest onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/peanuts-live-wallpaper; monetization redirect on install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; replaces every new tab for all users.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google's own account privacy page; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_dev store Developer email demorelmert101@gmail.com; no business domain; no verified publisher badge.
• js_external_hosts crx Extension contacts 8 external hosts incl. chat.openai.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, x.com — far beyond wallpaper function.
• search_permission_plus_newtab manifest search + newtab override together enable full search-hijack monetization without broad host_permissions.
• new_tab_monetization_shell store Wallpaper/theme shell with newtab override + install/uninstall URL hijacks = canonical low-effort traffic-monetization pattern.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows manipulating search queries; combined with newtab override creates a search-hijack surface.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces new tab page; primary monetization vector for wallpaper shells.
