What our analysis found

Nuance PowerMic Web Extension, used by 200,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in August 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension facilitates communication between a web page and a native Nuance PowerMic device via native messaging; all broad permissions are necessary for this purpose. No network requests to third parties occur; the only external URL is a Nuance domain download link. No user data is collected or transmitted. The ML model likely overfits on permission flags and DOM manipulation patterns (e.g., innerHTML, appendChild) used in legitimate adapter injection and installation popup UI.
