What our analysis found

Open in Foxit™ Reader, used by 40,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in December 2025.

Analyst notes

The extension’s use of nativeMessaging, downloads, and content scripts exactly matches its described purpose (opening PDF links in an external Foxit Reader). All permissions are necessary and used only in user-triggered flows. No external data is sent except first-party update pings (version info to the publisher’s own domain) and downloads of the companion native client from GitHub, which is not user data. The content script is minimal and only intercepts clicks on PDF links when enabled in preferences. No code injection, tracking, or credential theft occurs. The ML model likely flagged the broad permissions and all_urls match, but those are intrinsic to the functionality.

About this extension

Send PDF (Portable Document Format) links to the Foxit™ Reader from right-click context menu or browser's action button

Read the publisher’s full description

This extension simplifies the use of Foxit Reader to open PDF links. How to Use: 1. Use the right-click context menu item to direct PDF links to Foxit PDF Reader. 2. Click the action button on PDF pages to transfer the PDF file to Foxit PDF Reader. 3. On the options page, customize the extension settings to open PDF links with Foxit Reader. Notes: 1. Because Foxit Reader cannot directly open remote PDF links, this extension initially downloads the PDF file to your browser's default download directory and then activates the external PDF reader. 2. To establish communication with Foxit Reader, install a small native client specific to this extension. This client is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems. ChromeOS is not supported. 3. Ensure you have Foxit PDF Reader installed on your device. This extension only simplifies Foxit Reader integration with your browser and does not perform the installation. --- Legal Foxit Reader is a registered trademark of Foxit Software Incorporated, registered in the U.S. and other countries. This extension is an independent project and is not affiliated with Foxit Software. It serves as a tool designed to enhance the PDF reading experience.
