Top Risks

  • Brand impersonation: title invokes ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek without ownership — classic AI wrapper impersonation.
  • Privacy policy URL returns connection error; policy effectively unavailable — scores as unfetched (10.0).
  • AI extension with scripting + <all_urls> can read/exfiltrate page content across all sites visited.
  • Search provider override registered for Thir search engine; routes user queries through developer-controlled endpoint.
  • Only 10 installs with HIGH-tier permissions and no dev name — small-install/high-perm anomaly flagged.

Evidence

  • brand_impersonation store brands_mentioned=[chatgpt,gemini,claude,deepseek]; confirmed_owner=false; is_impersonation=true.
  • privacy_policy_fetch_failed api fetch_error:ConnectionError on https://thir.app/legal/privacy; policy treated as unavailable.
  • scripting_plus_all_urls manifest scripting permission + <all_urls> host_permission; can inject JS on every site.
  • search_provider_override manifest chrome_settings_overrides.search_provider routes queries to https://thir.app/?q={searchTerms}.
  • no_developer_name store developer_name is empty string; identity accountability reduced.
  • install_perm_anomaly api install_count=10 with has_high_tier_permission=true; small_install_high_perm=true.
  • ai_extension_page_content store AI assistant with broad content_scripts on all_urls; page content accessible to developer backend.
  • verified_publisher store verified_publisher=true; partial reputation credit but does not override impersonation/privacy gaps.

Permissions Breakdown

  • sidePanel low UI surface only; low intrinsic risk.
  • activeTab medium Grants access to current tab on user action; limited scope.
  • scripting high Can inject arbitrary JS into pages; high risk when paired with <all_urls>.
  • <all_urls> (host_permission) high Broad host access amplifies scripting/activeTab; can read/modify all sites.
  • chrome_settings_overrides.search_provider medium Registers Thir as a search provider; not set as default but still modifies browser search.
