In-depth safety analysis
The Permissions & Access dimension received a perfect score, indicating that this extension requests only the minimal set of permissions needed for its function. For a general browser extension that likely surfaces free games from indiexpo.net, this is a positive sign—typical requirements might include storage for preferences or access to display notifications, all of which are normal and expected.
When using any extension that curates free games or deals, it’s wise to stay alert to common practices in this category. Such tools can sometimes inject affiliate codes into links or display unexpected advertisements. A careful user should verify that the extension does not alter page content without clear disclosure or collect browsing data beyond what is necessary for its core features.
The strongest aspect of this extension’s safety profile is its restrained permission set. However, the weakest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, which scored only 30%. This suggests limited transparency about the publisher and a possible lack of regular updates. Combined with a moderate Publisher & Identity score (60%), users should consider that the extension might not receive prompt security patches, making it important to monitor its behavior over time.

Who's Behind Free Games?
- Publisher https://www.indiexpo.net/
Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
