Absolutely gorgeous expansion! Would love to see more scenes from his other movies! Only giving it 4/5 because my right tab isn't working for some reason. I'd love to be able to access my bookmarks / shortcuts from the new tab page.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Makoto Shinkai's Newtab requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Access to bookmarks may provide insights into user preferences and interests but generally carries low risk.
Medium *** ***** *** *** ********* ****** ****** *** **** **** ********** ** ****** **** ***********

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Makoto Shinkai's Newtab may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
