What our analysis found

Simplify Copilot - Autofill job applications, job tracker &…, used by 500,000 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 comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in October 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension is a legitimate job application autofill tool. All requested permissions are essential for its described functionality: activeTab, cookies, webRequest, webNavigation, and broad host access enable form-filling and submission tracking across job sites. The code reviewed (page script, offscreen PDF handler, HTML-to-PDF utility) contains no malicious behavior, no data exfiltration to unauthorized third parties, and no remote code injection. The disclosed data collection (PII, location) matches the publisher's privacy policy and first-party destination (simplify.jobs). The risk-engine high score is solely due to broad permissions, which are necessary and not indicative of malice. The publisher is a trusted Google trusted badge holder with a low-risk profile.
