🟠 HIGH RISK — review
Top Risks
- Extension not updated in 53 months (>4 years) — abandoned, no security patches.
- cookies + browsingData + *://*/* combo enables full cross-site cookie exfiltration.
- Privacy policy fetch failed; cannot confirm data handling for this extension.
- new Function() constructor found in two JS files — dynamic code execution risk.
- No CSP defined (MV3 mitigates partially, but no explicit policy is a gap).
