In code review (v1.3.4)

Our reviewer read version 1.3.4 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

AB Download Manager Browser Integration, used by 300,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in October 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension's source code shows that it functions solely as a local integration for the AB Download Manager desktop app, with all network communication directed to localhost. The broad permissions (webRequest, cookies, downloads, etc.) are necessary for intercepting downloads and forwarding cookies. No external data exfiltration, code obfuscation, or unexpected behavior was identified. The ML model likely flagged these permissions and minified bundle patterns.
