Top Risks

• THREAT FEED: extension ID independently confirmed malicious by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Pokemon Snorlax Bubble Float Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry (+2.5, capped).
• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic monetization/tracking shell pattern
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — opens 3rd-party page on install
• New-tab override with 'search' permission and external JS hosts including Netflix, Instagram, YouTube, X — search-monetization aggregator shape
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy, not scoped to this extension — data practices entirely undisclosed

Evidence

• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/pokemon-snorlax-bubble-float-live-wallpaper on every install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; replaces every new-tab page.
• external_js_hosts crx JS contacts owhit.com, chat.openai.com, instagram, netflix, youtube, x.com — 8 distinct hosts, 2 countries.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy URL is Google account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_dev store Developer email pelins8391@gmail.com; no verified publisher, no business website.
• new_tab_monetization_shape manifest newtab override + search permission + uninstall/install hijack to owhit.com = textbook traffic-monetization shell.
• csp_absent_mv3 manifest No content_security_policy declared; MV3 provides defaults but explicit absence noted alongside external host list.
• threat_feed_membership api Extension ID listed by TPCI chrome-mal-ids — Pokemon Snorlax Bubble Float Live Wallpaper [adware] + malext.io malicious_extension_sentry; score 5.49 -> 7.99 (+2.5 cap 2.5).

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows querying the browser search API; medium risk on its own but combined with newtab override elevates concern.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces new-tab page; primary monetization/search-hijack vector for this extension type.
