Proxy SwitchyOmega extension for Microsoft Edge (Chromium) - Official or unofficial?

[maxkorsov]

At Microsoft Store, the Proxy SwitchyOmega extension for Microsoft Edge has appeared:
https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/dijmmgblneagkcdganednabkbgjmceoe

There is no information that this is an official extension.
There are no links to Felis Catus developer and Proxy SwitchyOmega project page.

Can I trust this extension?

FYI, the publisher of Proxy SwitchyOmega on Microsoft Edge Addons, edge ext, also publishes a few extensions which doesn't belong to @FelisCatus. edge ext doesn't fill Privacy Policy URIs correctly either.

I am very sorry that @FelisCatus stopped working on his projects.
I can't trust - edge ext

The Proxy SwitchyOmega listing on Microsoft Edge Add-ons website is NOT uploaded by me, or anyone of the SwitchyOmega authors.

In other words, you may say the listing is unofficial. I have not tested or audited the uploaded extension package of that listing and I have zero idea whether the extension functions properly or whether it behaves responsibly.

It then follows common security practice to assume the worst for untrusted and non-audited code. If that's not enough, here goes ALL CAPS: USE CAUTION AND INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK!

TLDR: DO NOT USE IT ❌

• Analysis of it by Chinese friends
• The content of the malicious script

那你们就不能先考虑改一个名字再上架吗？
uBlock origin就是一个例子。

Just use the Chrome store link at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/proxy-switchyomega/padekgcemlokbadohgkifijomclgjgif. Microsoft Edge supports installing from Chrome store.

I've used the malicious extension from the edge store probably for 6+ months. Can someone tell me please what the malicious code done to me? What should I do now after uninstalling the extension?

How about the plan on uploading to Edge Addon Store?

[huanghe2015]

If the author doesn't want to solve this, I will have a try.

[huanghe2015]

Done. https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/proxy-switchyomega/fdbloeknjpnloaggplaobopplkdhnikc

Anyone can review the library I changed to ensure whether it has malicious code. If not, the extension I had uploaded is safe.
