What our analysis found
AdGuard Browser Assistant, used by 600,000 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 September 2026.
The extension is by a trusted publisher (Adguard Software Ltd) and has a clear purpose as a companion to the AdGuard desktop app. Permissions (nativeMessaging, tabs, activeTab, contextMenus, storage, scripting) are necessary for ad blocking and element hiding. No data collection is declared and the privacy policy is at. No suspicious code is visible in the provided files; the full JavaScript sources are not included but typical patterns in ML evidence (innerhtml, appendchild, etc.) are consistent with UI interactions. The low ML score (0.00) and absence of malicious permhash cluster corroborate a false positive.
