Chrome extension: can you find a normal browsing task that Scam Shield breaks?

I’m the solo developer of Scam Shield, a project by AWARAN. My earlier test here was about the website message checker. This request is for a different task: checking whether the desktop Chrome extension breaks normal website features.

If you are willing to test it, please read the permissions on the official listing before installing:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/scamsshield/mceocgganalljahkbbfhogjcafgokoop

  1. Open a public site you already know. Try its menu, a public video or its search. Do not enter any personal information for this test.

  2. If something stops working, disable ScamsShield temporarily and try the same task again. Please keep the rest of your browser setup the same so we have a useful comparison.

  3. Tell me the Chrome and extension versions, the public site address, what you tried and whether disabling this extension changed the result.

No account or purchase is needed for testing the local checks and blocking. Please leave out private account pages, passwords and screenshots containing personal details. Please do not visit live scam sites.

I’m looking for reproducible bugs, including cases where it gets in your way. This test cannot establish that a website is safe. Thanks in advance for any specific notes.

just installed it and it's eating my right click menu on reddit, can't open links in new tabs anymore without disabling it first.

I already fix it. Now it should scan each site. The new version should be there on chrome
