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

What our analysis found

MOBI Reader, used by 40,000 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 April 2026.

The extension is a MOBI file viewer. It uses XMLHttpRequest solely to fetch user-specified MOBI files from arbitrary URLs, which is its stated purpose. No unauthorized data collection, tracking, or exfiltration was found; all locally stored data is user preferences. The broad host permissions are required for the core functionality. The publisher has a clean track record and the code contains no obfuscation or hidden communication. The ML model likely flagged the broad permissions, XMLHttpRequest usage, and file structure, but all are legitimate.

About this extension

View MOBI documents right in your browser in a stand-alone popup window.

Read the publisher’s full description

MOBI Reader is a simple and powerful extension that can open any document with a mobi (or kindle) file extension. Please right-click on any ".mobi" link and then click on the - View MOBI - item from the context menu. Alternatively, you can open the popup window and then add the mobi link in the UI to view the document. For offline files, simply drag the file to the designated area in the popup to load the mobi document. This add-on has a dark mode to better read mobi files at night time. Moreover, you can resize the window to your desired size and the document will adapt itself to the new size. Note 1: MOBI is a new e-book file format for viewing online or offline documents. MOBI file format is designed for Kindle devices and created by Amazon company. Note 2: this add-on uses an open-source JavaScript library called mobi.js to render the ".mobi" file format (https://github.com/woshifyz/mobi_reader/blob/master/mobi.js) If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill the bug report form on the addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/mobi-reader.html).
