Top Risks

  • Privacy policy is Google's generic policy (scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true): worst-case privacy disclosure.
  • Uninstall and install URL hijack to gameograf.com — explicit monetization/tracking funnel on lifecycle events.
  • NewTab override gives replacement of every new tab with no rating, 247 installs, and no developer name.
  • Privacy policy points to Google's own policy, not an extension-scoped document — effectively no disclosure.
  • Stale >12 months; no developer name listed despite verified_publisher flag.

Evidence

  • uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → gameograf.com with UTM params; explicit monetization on uninstall.
  • install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens gameograf.com with UTM params; tracks install events to 3rd party.
  • privacy_policy_generic_google store Privacy URL is myaccount.google.com/privacypolicy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
  • newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab=index.html; replaces every new tab session for all users.
  • no_developer_name store developer_name is empty string despite verified_publisher=true.
  • stale_extension store 16 months since last update; Maintenance pillar elevated.
  • js_external_hosts_broad crx 10 external JS hosts including mlionltd.github.io, chatgpt.com, instagram.com, netflix.com, reddit.com.
  • new_tab_with_search_permission manifest Search permission + NewTab override combo enables search monetization pattern.

Permissions Breakdown

  • search medium Allows reading/modifying search provider; relevant to NewTab monetization.
  • chrome_url_overrides.newtab medium Replaces every new tab; high daily reach and typical monetization vector.
