What our analysis found
Adblock Plus - free ad blocker, used by 40,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites, can inject scripts into pages and can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in September 2026.
This is the legitimate Adblock Plus extension by eyeo GmbH (DE). Every file reviewed contains code consistent with its stated ad-blocking purpose: DOM manipulation to ads, YouTube ad-wall detection with iframe bypass, premium subscription handling via (eyeo's own Acceptable Ads platform), and internal extension messaging between content scripts and the background service worker. The bundled manifest permissions match the published manifest exactly — no discrepancy. The ML model's elevated pattern counts (js_appendchild:202, js_innerHTML:47) are fully explained by a 6 MB Webpack bundle performing legitimate ad-element removal across all sites; the ML risk score itself is 0.00, which corroborates the benign verdict. The chrome-stats likelihood score of and the clean permhash cluster (0% malware across 17 version peers) further contradict any malicious classification.
