What our analysis found

McAfee Anti-tracker, used by 100,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites, can inject scripts into pages and can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in September 2026.

The extension is developed by McAfee, a trusted security vendor, and its permissions align with anti-tracking functionality. The provided source code contains no malicious logic; the CSP restricts network access to McAfee-owned domains. The ML model likely flagged benign jQuery patterns and typical permissions for an anti-tracker.

About this extension

McAfee Anti-tracker

Read the publisherโ€™s full description

McAfee Anti-tracker prevents companies and advertisers from tracking your online activity and personal data. Companies and advertisers can build a profile of you based on information exchanged when you access a webpage. This includes your location, browsing activity, installed plugins, hardware configurations, and more. McAfee Anti-tracker will block attempts made by companies or advertisers to track your online activity. Additionally, McAfee masks these data points in ways a simple VPN or incognito mode fall short, so you can keep your online activity private. MCAFEE ANTI-TRACKER FEATURES: Visibility into whoโ€™s tracking you: see which advertisers and sites are attempting to collect your info. Automatically private: tracking attempts will be continuously blocked with installation; no need to login each time you go online. More private with just a click: manage which sites can be trusted with your personal data with a convenient toggle. Keep your online activity private: we continually change the masking of your data, preventing advertisers from developing a profile based on your activity or serving you with eerily specific ads.
