The bundled manifest includes 'activeTab' permission, but the published manifest summary on the Chrome Web Store only lists 'privacy' and 'storage'. This discrepancy may mislead users about the actual permissions used by the extension.
Analyst notes
The extension only modifies WebRTC privacy settings and monitors WebRTC connections locally; all permissions are justified by its functionality. No outbound network requests, no data exfiltration, no tracking, no code injection. The high ML risk score is a false positive due to legitimate use of privacy permission, early script injection, and a large code bundle (Zod).
