Is earth3d.net legit or a scam?
Chrome extension promotion site with no verifiable business identity, missing contact information, and search-bar modification behavior typical of potentially unwanted programs.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
The site promotes a Chrome extension (mnoenlpahmfcppchhebadhknekjonilk) available on the Chrome Web Store with a modest 3.5/5 rating from only 17 reviews. While our antivirus network and browser blocklists show no malicious flags, several factors raise concern: the domain is 337 days old yet claims a copyright date of 2020, no legitimate business registration or owner details are publicly available, and the extension's core function—modifying your search bar and new tab page—is a hallmark of potentially unwanted programs. The site provides a privacy policy and support email but no verifiable company information, physical address, or business registration in any jurisdiction. Web searches found no scam reports, complaints, or independent reviews specific to this domain or extension, which is typical for low-traffic or newly-promoted PUP-category software. The modest Chrome Web Store rating and lack of transparency about the operator suggest caution.
