What our analysis found

gs location changer, used by 80,000 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 uses necessary permissions (declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess, cookies) to modify search location headers and manage consent cookies on Google domains—its core functionality. All network requests are to declared hosts ([domain withheld], [domain withheld], [domain withheld]) for geocoding, and no unauthorized data collection or exfiltration occurs. The ML model likely over-fit the broad permission set.
