What our analysis found
Private Internet Access – Proxy for Chrome, used by 200,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can observe network requests. It was last updated in July 2026.
Analyst notes
The extension is the legitimate Private Internet Access tool. All network requests target the publisher's own domains ([domain withheld], [domain withheld], [domain withheld]). The powerful permissions (proxy, webRequest, cookies, etc.) are essential for its VPN functionality and are not abused. No data exfiltration, tracking, or unauthorized collection was found in the reviewed files. The ML model's low score (0.00) aligns with the benign analysis; the risk-engine flagged permissions rather than behavior. The code is clean, using standard bundling, and matches the extension's stated purpose.

It offers some neat features that browser extensions of other VPNs don’t have.” Cybernews Of all the VPNs out there, Private Internet Access (better known as PIA) offers the best deal. Howtogeek.com “...if you need a VPN that absolutely nails all of the core things you need to do and don’t want to spend too much, PIA is perfect.” TechRadar Important Note: The PIA Chrome extension is a secure proxy. It does not offer the same level of protection as our VPN service and should not be relied on for equivalent security. For full online protection, including advanced features and encryption across all apps and devices, we recommend using our PIA VPN desktop and mobile solutions, available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
