Key findings
- medium· other —The actual installed extension uses Manifest V2, but the published CWS listing claims Manifest V3 with different permission declarations (e.g., 'scripting', separate 'host_permissions'). This discrepancy may indicate outdated or mismatched manifest information.
- medium· tracking —Sends usage events and unique client ID to Google Analytics () and to. Also transmits the number of history items (r:N) to This data collection is not declared in the Chrome Web Store listing (disclosed as 'none').
The extension performs privacy cleaning as described. Broad permissions are inherent to its functionality. Analytics services (Google Analytics,) are used without declared data collection, which is a privacy concern, but no evidence of malicious data exfiltration was found. Manifest version mismatch between source and CWS listing is noted.
