Our reviewer read version 3.3.0 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

GNT: Glass New Tab – iOS Style Dashboard, used by 20,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in October 2026.

Analyst notes

All network calls in and go exclusively to the five domains declared in the bundled manifest ([domain withheld], [domain withheld], [domain withheld], [domain withheld], [domain withheld]) — no data is routed to unexpected third-party endpoints. Geolocation is used solely to fetch weather coordinates that are passed to the declared weather APIs, and location collection is explicitly disclosed in CWS data-collection metadata. The ML model's own score of 0.00 already signals low risk; the high html_base64_obfuscation and js_appendchild counts are explained by inline SVG data-URI search-engine icons in and legitimate DOM construction throughout the UI — not by anti-analysis techniques.
