What our analysis found
Save to Google Drive, used by 7,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites, can inject scripts into pages and can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in July 2025.
Analyst notes
The extension is published by Google, has a long history, and all align with its declared purpose of saving web content to Google Drive. Data collection is disclosed in the CWS listing, and all network communication targets first-party Google APIs via OAuth2. No malicious code, obfuscation, or unauthorized data flows were found. The ML model's risk score is likely driven by broad permissions and large standard library code (Google Closure).
