🟡 MEDIUM RISK — review
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.
