Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic low-effort monetization shell fingerprint.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — opens 3rd-party page on every install.
• NewTab override with search permission: replaces all new tabs, high monetization/data-collection surface.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy — not scoped to this extension; data_collection+third_party_sharing admitted.
• Free-webmail dev (gmail), no verified publisher, no business domain; high anonymity risk.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL targets https://owhit.com/uninstall — 3rd-party hijack, +3.0 Webstore.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/enhypen-wallpaper — 3rd-party hijack, +2.0 Webstore.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab=index.html replaces every new tab; +2.0 Webstore (newtab+monetization shape).
• generic_privacy_policy store Policy URL is Google account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true → +10.0 Privacy (rule D).
• free_webmail_dev store Developer email demorelmert101@gmail.com with no business website; Reputation floor 7.5 applied.
• js_external_hosts crx Extension references 8 external hosts (owhit.com, chatgpt.com, netflix.com, instagram.com, youtube.com, x.com, etc.).
• no_csp manifest csp_present=false on MV3; no additional MV2 penalty but weakens security posture.
• low_installs_newtab store 811 installs for a NewTab/search-monetization shell from anonymous gmail dev; elevated tail-risk.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows reading/modifying search queries; paired with NewTab override amplifies search-monetization risk.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new-tab page with extension content; primary vector for ad/affiliate monetization.
