Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — telemetry/monetization on exit, classic adware pattern.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — third-party tracking on every new install.
• NewTab override + search permission = full search-hijack surface across all tabs.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic policy (scope_extension=false, admits data collection + third-party sharing) — not scoped to this extension.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no verified identity or business domain; throwaway persona risk.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://owhit.com/uninstall; adware monetization indicator.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/pink-labubu-toy-cute-live-wallpaper; tracks installs via 3rd party.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; every new tab controlled by extension.
• generic_privacy_policy store Policy is Google's own account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_developer store Developer email melikkaksoy01@gmail.com; no verified publisher, no business domain.
• external_hosts_breadth crx JS references 8 external hosts including owhit.com, chat.openai.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, x.com.
• new_tab_monetization_shape manifest NewTab + search permission + owhit.com URL hijacks = classic traffic-monetization shell.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit policy declared.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows manipulation of search provider; combined with newtab override creates full search hijack surface.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab — high REACH, monetization vector, persistent UI control.
