What our analysis found

New York City MeaVana, used by 1,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in June 2026.

Analyst notes

Source code review shows a legitimate new tab dashboard extension built on with NYC wallpaper content and utility widgets. All external API calls ([domain withheld] for IP lookup, [domain withheld] for currency rates, [domain withheld], [domain withheld], etc.) are for user-facing dashboard widgets and are not exfiltrating any browsing data. Error tracking goes to a self-hosted GlitchTip instance at [domain withheld] (publisher's own domain). The content script only injects a draggable sidebar icon using chrome.runtime.getURL and does not harvest page content. The permhash cluster has only 10% flagged malicious (likely other MeaVana-network extensions with the same permission set), and chrome-stats marks this publisher as 'trusted'. However, several key files referenced in imports (,,) are absent from the extracted bundle, preventing full verification of the webRequest and declarativeNetRequest usage.
