Our reviewer read this extension’s code and found no malicious behaviour. An automated risk flag was reviewed and overturned.

What our analysis found

Imgur Unblocker, used by 10,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in May 2026.

Analyst notes

All source files confirm the extension does exactly what it advertises: redirects [domain withheld] requests to DuckDuckGo's proxy ([domain withheld]), counts proxied images and sends badge-update messages internally, stores a local total counter in chrome.storage.local, and renders a stat display with a hardcoded SVG theme toggle. No data is sent to any external server; the only outbound destination is [domain withheld] which is the stated proxy. The ML score of 0.07 already signals low suspicion; the risk-engine's 'High' verdict is driven entirely by broad host permissions and declarativeNetRequest being classified as critical — both of which are architecturally required for a geo-bypass proxy extension. Third-party chrome-stats flags newness and low user count, not any behavioral signal, which corroborates rather than contradicts the false-positive reading.
