What our analysis found
Search Manager, used by 60,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in January 2023.
Analyst notes
The extension's source code is minimal and transparent. It stores the user's search engine preference and sends the chosen engine ID to its own domain ([domain withheld]) via a fetch for functionality. The search engine override is explicitly disclosed in the extension description. No data exfiltration, code injection, or obfuscation was detected. The only network request (to [domain withheld]) aligns with the extension's stated purpose. Therefore, it is likely benign despite the publisher's other extensions being flagged as malicious.
