What our analysis found

Immersive Translate - Translate Web & PDF, used by 3,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in September 2026.

The extension is a widely-used, featured translation tool with a trusted publisher and disclosure of data collection in its privacy policy. All permissions (webRequest, declarativeNetRequest, <all_urls>) align with its core functionality of translating websites, PDFs, and video subtitles. The provided source code shows legitimate content-script guards, header-modification rules for translation APIs, translation injection, and a privacy-preserving AI masking module. No unauthorized data exfiltration, credential theft, or code injection was detected. The ML model's risk signals (high XMLHttpRequest, innerHTML, eval counts) are expected in a complex translation extension and do not indicate malice.
