In code review (v100.0.0.0)

Our reviewer read version 100.0.0.0 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

Lighthouse, used by 1,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in June 2026.

This is the official Lighthouse Chrome extension by Google. The code simply opens the Lighthouse Viewer URL () with parameters from the current tab URL and user settings. All external communication is first-party (Google-owned domains). No data is collected or exfiltrated. The ML model likely flagged benign UI patterns (appendChild, form elements) and the outdated manifest version, but the extension is well-known and publisher reputation is excellent. The manifest_version mismatch (bundled v2 vs. CWS listing v3) is a hygiene issue, not malicious.

Lighthouse is an open-source, automated tool for improving the performance, quality, and correctness of your web apps. When auditing a page, Lighthouse runs a barrage of tests against the page, and then generates a report on how well the page did. From here you can use the failing tests as indicators on what you can do to improve your app. * Quick-start guide on using Lighthouse: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/ * View and share reports online: https://googlechrome.github.io/lighthouse/viewer/ * Github source and details: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse
