What our analysis found
Google Vids Screen Recorder, used by 200,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in September 2026.
The extension is published by Google, with a privacy policy matching the publisher's website. Permissions (storage, scripting, webNavigation, windows) and host permissions () are consistent with a screen-recording tool integrated with Google Vids. No JavaScript source was provided for analysis, but the manifest and static files show no overtly malicious behavior. The ML model's low risk score (0.11) and the publisher's reputation (trusted Google badge, only 3% of other extensions flagged) suggest a false positive. However, without reviewing the compiled scripts, full certainty is not possible.
