Top Risks

• Uninstall URL hijack to owhit.com and install URL hijack to owhit.com — classic monetization shell pattern.
• Privacy policy is generic Google account policy (not scoped to this extension) while data_collection and third_party_sharing are true.
• New-tab override paired with 'search' permission and free-webmail dev — revenue-harvest pattern.
• JS external hosts include 8 unrelated major sites (Netflix, Instagram, YouTube, X, ChatGPT) with no stated function.
• Free-webmail developer (gmail), no verified publisher, no business domain — low accountability.

Evidence

• uninstall_url_hijack crx chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL → https://owhit.com/uninstall; 3rd-party monetization redirect on uninstall.
• install_url_hijack crx onInstalled opens https://owhit.com/pink-subaru-brz-live-wallpaper; 3rd-party URL on install.
• newtab_override manifest chrome_url_overrides.newtab = index.html; hijacks every new-tab page.
• generic_privacy_policy store Policy URL is Google's own account policy; scope_extension=false, data_collection=true, third_party_sharing=true.
• free_webmail_developer store Developer email cenk4790@gmail.com; no verified publisher, no business domain.
• js_external_hosts_mismatch crx 8 external JS hosts (Netflix, Instagram, YouTube, x.com, ChatGPT, owhit.com) for a wallpaper/NewTab extension.
• new_tab_monetization_pattern manifest NewTab override + search permission + owhit.com install/uninstall hooks = monetization shell fingerprint.
• csp_absent manifest content_security_policy is null; no CSP declared on MV3 extension.

Permissions Breakdown

• search medium Allows reading/modifying search provider; medium risk for a wallpaper/NewTab extension.
• chrome_url_overrides.newtab high Replaces every new-tab page; primary monetization surface for this extension type.
