Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com — classic monetization shell fingerprint.
• Install URL hijack to owhit.com — tracks installs for ad-revenue reporting.
• NewTab override + search permission enables search-query monetization on every new tab.
• Privacy policy is Google's generic account policy — does not scope data collection to this extension at all.
• Free-webmail dev (gmail), no verified publisher, no business domain; low accountability.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://owhit.com/uninstall; 3rd-party tracking on uninstall.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/frieren-meadow-memories-live-wallpaper; monetization redirect.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; replaces every new tab for all users.
• generic_privacy_policy store Policy URL is Google's own account privacy policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_dev store Developer email aslizeytinli52@gmail.com; no business domain; no verified publisher badge.
• js_external_hosts_broad crx 8 external hosts including owhit.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, x.com; disproportionate for a wallpaper.
• no_csp manifest content_security_policy is null; MV3 default applies but no explicit hardening declared.
• low_installs_newtab store Only 62 installs with NewTab+search override — high-capability, low-accountability extension.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows querying the browser search API; paired with newtab override enables search monetization.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new tab page; high-reach surface enabling ad injection and search hijacking.
