What our analysis found
Adblocker for Youtube™, used by 400,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in March 2025.
Analyst notes
The extension's code implements legitimate ad blocking and UI enhancements for YouTube, using permissions (scripting, host: [domain withheld]) that are necessary for its functionality. No data exfiltration, tracking, or unauthorized external communication was found; all network requests are either to YouTube APIs or user-initiated navigation to the publisher's website. The risk-engine flagged scripting and early execution as critical, but these are essential for an adblocker and do not indicate malicious intent. The ML model's low score (0.00) further supports benign classification.
