Our reviewer read version 3.194.0 — 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
vidIQ Vision for YouTube, used by 4,000,000 people, 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 October 2026.
All data flows observed in the reviewed source files go to the publisher's first-party domain () or to the platforms the extension enhances (YouTube, TikTok, ChatGPT). The disclosed Chrome Web Store data collection categories (PII, auth, user activity) match the extension's behavior. The permissions, while powerful, are justified by the core analytics and AI integration features. The publisher is trusted, user base is large, and no malicious code patterns (exfiltration, obfuscation, unauthorized third‑party sends) were found. The risk‑engine score appears driven purely by the permission set, not by actual malicious logic.
