What our analysis found
Olympiacos FC, used by 1,823 people, is rated caution by Extension Auditor. Our code review reported 4 findings (2 medium, 2 low), led by tracking. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in June 2026.
Key findings
- Medium
Tracking
On first install the extension reads an 'extensionHash' cookie from the background page context and immediately POSTs it — along with a score value — to [domain withheld]. This is an tracking call that ties the installation to a marketing channel hash. No such data collection is disclosed in the CWS listing (declared: none), and the destination domain is a third-party search-monetisation provider unrelated to [domain withheld] or [domain withheld].
- Medium
Tracking
Every new-tab open, search submission (with the raw query in 'val'), and UI click event (news, bookmark, history, favourite) is dispatched as a telemetry beacon to [domain withheld], a SearchTurbo analytics endpoint. The payload includes the event type, the search query where applicable, the extension rtag 'olymp', and elapsed-time-since-install. This is systematic behavioural tracking of undisclosed scope sent to a third-party domain; the CWS listing declares zero data collection.
- Low
Tracking
The extension registers a chrome.runtime.setUninstallURL pointing to [domain withheld] with 't=uninstall' and elapsed-time parameters. This ensures a tracking ping fires through the browser when any user removes the extension, adding to the undisclosed behavioural profile maintained by the SearchTurbo backend.
- Low
Tracking
The news panel unconditionally fetches push-monetisation ad inventory from Jeeng's Azure backend with hardcoded publisher credentials (domain_id, user_id). These calls are made without user consent and represent a second third-party integration not disclosed in the CWS listing. While Jeeng is a legitimate ad network, its integration here is undisclosed and the hardcoded user_id acts as a persistent publisher identifier shared across all installs of this template.
Analyst notes
The extension is a brandTURBO 'new tab override' template built around the Olympiacos FC brand. The code contains no credential theft, page injection, or network interception, but it systematically routes all user searches through SearchTurbo's monetised network ([domain withheld]) and fires undisclosed behavioural analytics beacons — including the raw search query — to that same third-party domain on every tab open, search, and click event. At install time, reads an 'extensionHash' referral cookie and POSTs a score payload to [domain withheld] without user notice. CWS-disclosed data collection is 'none', making all of this undisclosed. The ML score is partially a false-positive inflated by bundler patterns, but the publisher-reputation signal (56 % of 98 extensions flagged malicious) and the permhash cluster (65 % of 576 peers flagged malicious) both independently corroborate that this template family is classified as by the industry; the extension has also been removed from the store.
