What our analysis found

1688 AlphaShop: AI Sourcing & Image Search, used by 70,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in April 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension is an official Alibaba product for 1688 platform sourcing. All network requests go to first-party domains ([domain withheld], [domain withheld], [domain withheld]) or a well-known translation service (Microsoft Translator) for disclosed translation features. Permissions like declarativeNetRequest, offscreen, and wasm-unsafe-eval are necessary for header modification, OCR, and WebAssembly processing. Data collection (web history, website content) is disclosed in the CWS listing and aligns with the extension's purpose. The risk-engine's high-severity flags are false alarms typical of broad-but-justified permissions.
