What our analysis found

Privacy Test, used by 400,000 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 January 2024.

The extension performs checks as described: it monitors Safe Browsing, lists sideloaded extensions, scans page URLs for malware via, and displays info. The permissions (privacy, scripting, management) are used legitimately. No malicious code, covert data exfiltration, or code injection was found. The one notable issue is that the URL scanning feature sends the current page URL to third-party services (,) without declaring this data collection in the Chrome Web Store listing, which is a policy compliance gap rather than a security threat. The ML model and pre‑computed risk engine likely over‑flagged based on the high‑sensitivity permissions, but the code demonstrates appropriate and disclosed‑feature‑aligned usage.
