What our analysis found
xkcdAlt showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a publisher with 2 extensions and was last updated in March 2025.
Analyst notes
The extension contains a single 17-line content script () that reads the `title` attribute from an xkcd comic image, removes it from the DOM attribute, and re-renders it as visible text below the comic — exactly matching its stated purpose of making text easier to read. The manifest correctly scopes `matches` to `*://[domain withheld] and `*://[domain withheld] only, with no broad permissions, no external network calls, no data collection, and no code execution. The ML score of 0.56 is a clear false positive driven by the trivially small file size and low user count rather than any malicious behavior; the risk engine independently scored it 0.00 with zero findings, fully corroborating the benign assessment. Chrome-stats flagged content-script injection, which is the extension's legitimate core mechanism on a single narrowly-scoped domain.

About this extension
Read alt text under xkcd comic strips easier. Extension by TPReal
Read the publisher’s full description
Shows the title text under xkcd comic strips. The text is visible under the comic strip only when you're holding your mouse over the strip, or when you select the text. This prevents you from accidentally reading the text too early, as in some cases this could be sort of a spoiler for the strip.
