What our analysis found

Read It! showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in December 2021.

Analyst notes

All six code files were reviewed in full. The extension is a straightforward text-to-speech reader: extracts page text locally and returns it to via message passing, feeds it to chrome.tts.speak(), and saves to chrome.storage.sync. There are zero network requests to any external server across all files. Every ML signal is a benign artifact: the single js_eval_function hit is `new Function('import("")`)` in (line 204), a standard dynamic-import feature-detection pattern; js_innerHTML is a static hardcoded template string for the control panel UI ( line 69); js_appendchild calls are UI construction; and html_hidden_elements maps to `.stuff{text-indent:100%...}` — an accessible button-text CSS technique. The bundled manifest is MV2 v1.0.1 while the live CWS listing shows MV3, consistent with the changelog note 'v1.0.2: Migrate to MV3' — not a mismatch finding, just expected version lag. Third-party risk score of impact + likelihood corroborates the benign assessment.
