What our analysis found
VPN for Chrome: NordVPN proxy protection, used by 14,000,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites, can inject scripts into pages and can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in September 2026.
NordVPN is a Google-trusted publisher with 12 million users, a 0.00 ML risk score, and all reviewed code is entirely consistent with legitimate VPN proxy extension functionality: geo-spoofing navigator.geolocation (csSpoofGeoMain.), detecting YouTube proxy-block messages to communicate with the background service worker (.), and a proxy auth 407-check offscreen worker (offscreenProxyAuthWorkerChromium.). The only notable discrepancy is the bundled manifest containing `declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess` while the published manifest summary omits it — consistent with a CWS publishing-lag on an extension updated 3 days ago rather than a stealth permission. The third-party risk score's high Impact is driven entirely by the permission set, which is expected and necessary for a proxy-VPN extension; its Likelihood score is correctly low (trusted publisher, high user count, old extension).
