Is MEGA safe?

Clean risk

Runs the MEGA web app locally in the browser for MEGA cloud storage and communications.

This extension installs MEGA’s HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files in the browser so MEGA pages load from the extension instead of downloading those files each visit. It captures MEGA URLs and keeps the client code local, while MEGA describes the service as end-to-end encrypted with encryption and decryption handled on user devices.

Who publishes it

Mega Limited - 2 other listings from the same operator, none carrying a finding

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.

Publisher
MEGA
Declared legal entity
Mega Limited
Registered address
Level 21, Huawei Centre, 120 Albert St, Auckland 1010, NZ

Same store account

1 other listing published from this account, 9k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.

Same operator - 1 listing

Published under a different store account, but sharing the registered address, contact or declared legal entity this one gave the store.

Shared hosts - 6 hostnames

Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
