Phishing

Sa*****, 2021-03-10

Bogus, dangerous, predatory extension. Should be removed from Chrome Web Store. This is not a security extension, it's a data harvester that is collecting your search information to sell to advertisers. It does nothing useful at all, and does nothing visible other than pretend that various search terms are "dangerous", which is moronic. Sorry, but Google and Bing cannot magically blow up your browser or infect your computer with viruses if you search for "download Youtube videos", which is what this nonsense claims. Another warning sign is that the main way people find this extension is being led here by domain hijackers that replace an old site with a pop-up saying you have the "option" of installing this, then refuse to take you to the real content until you do install in, then can't take you to the content anyway because it is long gone. Due to its deceptive nature, this extension is flat-out illegal in many jurisdictions, including California, Virginia, and all of the EU.

Waste of time, do not download this extension, it does literally nothing except extract data from your search history to sell to avertisers.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

SecuryBrowse for Chrome™ requires a lot of sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

SecuryBrowse for Chrome™ may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
