In code review

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

What our analysis found

Page Analytics (by Google), used by 200,000 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 March 2019.

The extension is a legitimate Google product that overlays Google Analytics data on web pages. All permissions (webRequest, cookies, etc.) are required for its core functionality. Network traffic goes exclusively to Google-owned domains (,,). The extension's own analytics are sent to a Google Analytics property, which is a first-party service by the same publisher. Code is standard minified Google Closure, not obfuscated or malicious. The ML model likely overfit on broad permissions and common JavaScript patterns.
