What our analysis found

Watch2Gether, used by 900,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites and can inject scripts into pages. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in May 2025.

Extension is from a trusted publisher, has a large user base, and its source code aligns with its stated purpose of synchronizing video playback across sites. The broad permissions (<all_urls>, webRequest, webRequestBlocking) are used exclusively for injecting content scripts and spoofing referrer headers to enable cross-site video sync, not for data exfiltration. All network communication targets the publisher's own domain or official third-party APIs of supported media providers. The manifest mismatch (bundled MV2 vs. published MV3) likely reflects a version discrepancy in the CWS listing, not malicious intent.
