Top Risks

• Uninstall and install URL hijack both redirect to gameograf.com — textbook monetization shell behavior.
• New-tab override replaces every new tab; paired with 'search' permission for search monetization.
• Privacy policy is generic Google account policy — not scoped to this extension, admits data collection and third-party sharing.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail) with no verified publisher status or business website.
• JS external hosts include gameograf.com alongside major platforms (YouTube, Netflix, Instagram) — traffic routing risk.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack manifest chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL points to gameograf.com with UTM params — monetization shell.
• install_url_hijack manifest onInstalled opens gameograf.com with UTM params — confirmed traffic monetization on install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html replaces every new tab for all users.
• generic_privacy_policy store Policy URL is Google account policy (not extension-specific); scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_developer store Developer email willcansmithci@gmail.com; no verified publisher, no business domain.
• js_external_hosts crx gameograf.com contacted alongside youtube, netflix, instagram, x.com — unexplained external reach for a wallpaper.
• search_permission_plus_newtab manifest 'search' permission combined with newtab override enables search query interception/redirect.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit CSP hardening declared.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows override of search behavior; medium risk in context of NewTab override and monetization signals.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces new tab page entirely; primary monetization surface for traffic/ad injection.
