In code review

Our reviewer read this extension’s code and found no malicious behaviour. An automated risk flag was reviewed and overturned.

What our analysis found

Block File Types, used by 500,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in April 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension performs exactly its stated purpose: blocking file:// URLs according to admin-configured file extensions. It uses only essential permissions (tabs, storage, file://*) and makes no network requests, collects no user data, and contains no obfuscated or suspicious code. The ML model was likely triggered by the broad file://* permission, but the extension's behavior is benign and transparent.
