Is Google AI Citation Analysis safe?

Low risk

Google AI Citation Analysis opens an update page that clicks a YouTube subscription link after user dwell and scroll.

When the extension updates to version 3.1, it opens its bundled update page. If the user stays on that page for more than six seconds and scrolls near the bottom, the page dispatches synthetic click events on a YouTube subscription link.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
