What our analysis found

URL Redirector showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in April 2026.

Analyst notes

Every line of JavaScript is fully accounted for: contains a clean ~120-line declarativeNetRequest rule-sync routine with no external network calls; the popup and options bundles are React 18.3.1 UI components that only read/write to chrome.storage.sync; and is the standard minified production bundle. There are zero fetch() calls to external domains, no XMLHttpRequest, no (), no API usage, and no data leaving the browser. The ML signals (js_innerhtml:5, js_appendchild:4, js_fromcharcode:2) all trace back to React DOM internals, not malicious code; the permhash cluster malware rate (11%) reflects that this permission pair is shared by many redirect tools, some of which are abused, not that this extension is malicious.
