What our analysis found

BattleTabs, used by 70,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in July 2024.

Analyst notes

The extension is a well-known multiplayer game with 80k users, high rating, and trusted publisher. The code uses topSites, notifications, and chrome://favicon/ for new-tab functionality, all disclosed in the store description. Data flows to first-party Firebase and the publisher's herokuapp API match the disclosed collection categories (personal info, authentication, user activity, payments). No hidden third-party endpoints or exfiltration found. The bundled manifest uses MV2 while the CWS listing summary shows MV3, and the listing omits the 'chrome://favicon/' permission—this is a hygiene mismatch, not malicious behavior. The broad 'externally_connectable' 'ids: ["*"]' is a security concern but does not indicate malice; it is noted in rationale only.
