Is Визуальные закладки safe?

Clean risk

Визуальные закладки exposes all its internal scripts and assets to any website via an overly permissive web_accessible_resources declaration.

The extension's manifest declares web_accessible_resources with resources:["/*"] and matches:["<all_urls>"], making every JS bundle, HTML page, and asset directly loadable by any site the user visits. Any website can enumerate or load these resources without user interaction. The extension also contacts Yandex servers for statistics and configuration as part of its new-tab functionality.

1 other listing published from this account, 1.0M+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.

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.

Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 3.0.6. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
