Our reviewer read version 6.2.1 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

Unblock Youku, used by 1,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in September 2026.

The extension is a legitimate service that uses necessary permissions (proxy, webRequest, etc.) for its core functionality. All observed network communication destinations align with the publisher's domain () or Firebase (a well-known analytics SaaS). The CWS-disclosed data collection (PII and authentication information) covers the account-related data flows. Content scripts are limited to specific media sites for unblocking regional restrictions, matching the described purpose. No malicious code or unauthorized data exfiltration was found in the provided source files. The high risk-engine score is driven by permission sensitivity, not actual malicious behavior.
