Is Ghelper safe?

Medium risk

Ghelper disables other enabled browser extensions that request proxy access.

When Ghelper starts, its background script enumerates installed extensions and turns off any enabled extension that requests the proxy permission. This behavior uses the browser management API and happens automatically in the background.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.

ghelper

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
