What our analysis found

Highlights for YouTube, used by 1,000 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

The extension does exactly what it describes: it reads timestamps from YouTube comments and video descriptions, then renders highlight markers on the YouTube progress bar with navigation controls. All JavaScript (,) operates exclusively on [domain withheld] DOM elements with zero outbound network calls. The is injected into the page context solely to access YouTube's comment DOM and ytInitialPlayerResponse, communicating back to via postMessage — a standard and well-documented extension pattern. The ML score of 0.23 is entirely explained by benign DOM manipulation patterns (createElement, innerHTML x8, appendChild x6) that any YouTube UI enhancement extension would produce. The bundled manifest perfectly matches the published manifest summary with no discrepancies. The publisher's other-extension malicious rate () is noted but does not override clean, fully readable, unobfuscated code that contains no data collection, no exfiltration, and no remote code loading.
