What our analysis found
Browsing Protection, used by 2,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a publisher with 15 extensions and was last updated in October 2026.
The extension is a legitimate security product (Browsing Protection by F-Secure). All critical permissions (webRequest, declarativeNetRequest, nativeMessaging, webNavigation, tabs) are necessary for its functionality of scanning URLs, blocking malicious sites, enforcing safe search, and communicating with the F-Secure desktop application. Data flows only to the local native messaging host (first-party) and is disclosed under CWS privacy disclosures ('User activity'). The code is clean, readable, and contains no obfuscation, remote code loading, or covert exfiltration. The risk-engine score is a false positive caused by the broad permission set typical of security extensions.
