What our analysis found

Proxy Helper, used by 100,000 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 May 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension is a straightforward proxy configuration tool. All permissions (proxy, webRequest, webRequestAuthProvider, offscreen, tabs, storage, host) are necessary for its core functionality. No network requests are made except via Chrome's proxy API; no user data is transmitted externally. Code is clean, well-structured, and matches the open-source proxy helper category. The ML model's base64 obfuscation hits are from a legitimate jquery. utility, and high-risk permissions are required for proxy management—not indicators of malware.
