Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic monetization shell tracking user churn.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — captures install event for ad/affiliate attribution.
• NewTab override replaces every new tab; combined with search permission this is a search-monetization shell.
• Privacy policy is Google's own policy (scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true) — admits data sharing without scoping to this extension; scores +10.0.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no business website; no verified publisher badge.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL targets https://owhit.com/uninstall — 3rd-party tracker.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/cute-pochacco-live-wallpaper — affiliate/ad attribution.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; every new tab served by extension.
• privacy_policy_generic store Policy is Google's account policy: scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_dev store Developer email muratpolat0891@gmail.com; no verified publisher; no business website.
• js_external_hosts crx 8 external hosts referenced incl. owhit.com, chat.openai.com, instagram.com, netflix.com.
• search_permission_newtab_combo manifest search permission + newtab override = search monetization pattern.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit hardening.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows reading/modifying search provider; medium risk especially paired with newtab override.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab page; high monetization surface and user-facing impact.
