What our analysis found

Web Scraper - Free Web Scraping, used by 800,000 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 July 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension is a popular web scraping tool with a clear purpose. Permissions like scripting, webRequest, and host access are necessary for its functionality. The publisher is trusted, has a privacy policy covering website content collection, and user reviews are positive. The only red flag is a mismatch where the bundled manifest requires 'webRequest' while the CWS listing shows it as optional, which is likely a version inconsistency rather than malice. No malicious code patterns were found in the provided files, but the core logic files were not available, preventing full certainty.

Add data extraction selectors to the sitemap; 4. Lastly, launch the scraper and export scraped data. It’s as easy as that!
