What our analysis found
Video Downloader Professional, used by 5,000,000 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 March 2026.
Analyst notes
The extension's permissions and behavior align with its stated purpose of detecting and downloading videos. The only external data flow is a user-initiated transfer of the current page URL to [domain withheld] for advanced downloading, which is a disclosed companion feature and not hidden. No covert exfiltration, obfuscation, or injection is present. The ML model likely over-fitted on broad permissions and content script patterns common in legitimate downloader extensions.
