What our analysis found

Discussions button for Google Search™, used by 30,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a publisher with 4 extensions and was last updated in January 2025.

Analyst notes

The extension contains a single, fully-readable 149-line content script that does exactly what it advertises: it clones a Google Search navigation tab, rewrites its href to append a forum-keyword search filter (all within [domain withheld]), and inserts it into the navigation bar. There are zero external network requests, no data collection, no (), and no obfuscation. The ML score of 0.43 is driven by three benign innerHTML hits (a DOM check on line 52, a hardcoded emoji span on line 84, and a hardcoded 'Discussions' label on line 91) and one appendChild call (line 93) — all standard DOM manipulation within the extension's stated purpose. Chrome-stats rates Impact / Likelihood, which corroborates the benign verdict; the 33% publisher malicious rate is noted but is contradicted by the clean, unminified, openly-sourced code here.
