Investigation Brief
The site functions as the landing page for the Freshy Search browser extension, which modifies browser search settings and requests permissions to read browsing history and change data on multiple websites. The developer, Tightrope Interactive, has not identified itself as a trader.
Extension permissions and developer identity
The Chrome Web Store listing shows the developer as Tightrope Interactive in Oakland, CA, and explicitly notes that the developer has not identified itself as a trader.
The extension requests permissions described as 'Read and change your data on a number of websites' and 'Read your browsing history', which are broad data-access rights.
Technical signals and external checks
the browser threat feed returned no threat warning for the domain.
One antivirus engine (CRDF) previously flagged the site as malicious, though the detection is a stale observation.
Why the score is 68
Extension requests read-and-change access across websites plus browsing-history access. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
