Frequently asked questions
- Is the safety check free?
- Yes — it is free and needs no account. Paste an extension name or store link and you get its safety report instantly, or the extension joins our analysis queue.
- What if the extension I want isn't listed yet?
- Checking it adds it to our queue. We discover new browser extensions every day, and the more readers check an extension, the sooner it gets a full safety profile.
- How long until a new extension is analyzed?
- New extensions are gathered and scored automatically — usually within about a day — from public records, then published on a steady schedule.
- Where does the safety data come from?
- Public, verifiable evidence only: the extension manifest and its requested permissions, store listings, publisher records and privacy policies. We inspect public records — no hands-on testing, no affiliate links, no paid placement.
- Why might an extension be "out of scope"?
- NSFW/adult extensions, crypto-wallet drainers and medical-diagnosis extensions are excluded by policy — see our methodology for why.
