What our analysis found
Ad & Intro Skip for YT, Netflix, used by 100,000 people, is rated caution by Extension Auditor. Our code review reported 2 findings (1 high, 1 medium), led by unauthorized data collection. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites.
Key findings
- High
Unauthorized Data Collection
Whenever a page is loaded whose hostname matches a list previously fetched from the server, the extension sends the page URI (origin + pathname) to [domain withheld]. This transmits browsing history data without user consent or CWS disclosure.
- Medium
Unauthorized Data Collection
On installation and update, the extension generates a unique identifier and sends it to [domain withheld]. This transmits a persistent installation ID to a third-party server without user consent or disclosure in the CWS data collection statement.
Analyst notes
The extension sends a unique installation ID and current page URLs to a remote server ([domain withheld]) without any disclosed data collection in the Chrome Web Store listing. While the core functionality is ad blocking, this behavior constitutes unauthorized tracking. The permissions are appropriate for an ad blocker, but the data collection is not disclosed and could be used to monitor browsing activity.
