What our analysis found

PixieBrix, used by 50,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in October 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension is a legitimate low-code platform (PixieBrix) with broad permissions required for its core functionality (injecting mods into any page). All observed code (sandbox execution, hotkey handling, audio permissions, readability extraction, performance profiling, session recording for macro capture) aligns with its stated purpose. There is no evidence of covert data exfiltration or credential theft; data collection appears to be either first-party (to [domain withheld]) or via disclosed third-party services (Datadog RUM) controlled by the publisher. The ML score of 0.00 indicates the model did not flag it as high-risk; the risk-engine’s critical rating is based solely on permissions, which are necessary for the extension’s functionality and are disclosed in the manifest. The extension is featured, rated 4.0, and has 50k users, further supporting a false positive.
