AI Extension Security Data

Of 5 AI browser extensions we scanned, 80% request permission to read and change data on every website you visit, as of the 2026-07-31 scan. 4 request permissions broader than typical for their category, and across all scans we observed 425 distinct third-party domains contacted by these extensions.

This page is generated directly from our extension scan database and updates whenever an extension is re-scanned. We disclose manifest permissions, third-party data flow, and privacy-policy quality, and note where an extension requests more than its category typically needs — detailed in the security methodology. Domain counts are a static-analysis lower bound. Every figure below is stated as of the scan date shown; we report facts and a category-relative profile, never a bare verdict of "safe" or "avoid".
