What our analysis found

Bardeen: Automate Browser Apps with AI, used by 200,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in June 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension is a well-known automation and AI assistant with a large user base, high ratings, and a trusted publisher. Its permissions and data collection align with its disclosed purpose and privacy policy. Code review shows standard practices such as using Sentry for error reporting, RPC for internal communication, and content scripts for automation. No unauthorized data exfiltration, code injection, or malicious behavior detected. The ML model's pattern counts (high request counts, hex strings) are likely due to minification and legitimate API interactions.
