What our analysis found

Slowly, Chicken showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in December 2022.

Analyst notes

The extension does exactly what its CWS description promises: a content script runs on a setInterval, waits until the tab is hidden and inactive for at least 5 minutes, then replaces random words on the page with the word 'chicken'. There is no network activity, no data collection, no remote code loading, no eval, no obfuscation, and no permissions beyond an implicit content_scripts host match. The ML score of 0.77 is a false positive driven by the extension having a broad content_scripts match ('*://*/' + '<all_urls>') combined with a tiny file size — a pattern that also appears in many malware samples, but here the code is entirely innocuous word-replacement logic. The third-party risk score (Impact, Likelihood) and our own risk engine (0.00) both corroborate a clean verdict.

About this extension

Slowly chickens your websites over time.

Read the publisher’s full description

"Slowly, Chicken" slowly chickens websites you view, eventually replacing all of the words on the page with the word "chicken". These changes don't get in the way of your work: only your inactive background tabs will be chickened. If you leave a tab in the background for less than five minutes, no words will be changed. If a tab is backgrounded for long enough to become unintelligible... were you really using it? --- Inspired by the Cageify extension, and research by Doug Zongker: As PDF: https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf As video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL_-1d9OSdk
