What our analysis found

Page Assist - A Web UI for Local AI Models, used by 300,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in October 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension's source code is transparent and aligns with its stated purpose of providing a UI for local AI models. Content scripts on Hugging Face, Ollama, and YouTube only add UI buttons that send internal messages to the background script (e.g., 'pull_model', 'youtube_summarize') with no external data exfiltration. The broad host permissions are necessary to connect to user-configured local AI servers (Ollama, Chrome AI, etc.), and no sensitive data is collected or transmitted to third parties. The ML model's regex hits and the third-party risk fingerprint are artifacts of minified library code and a large browser polyfill; static analysis flags for permissions like 'scripting' and 'declarativeNetRequest' are inherent to the extension's legitimate functionality.
