Browser Trust

Publisher description

Current runtime: this plugin runs unsandboxed with MacCrab's access. Any sandbox wording in the publisher's signed description below reflects an earlier design. The access disclosure on this page describes the current execution path.

Review Chrome and Edge extension declarations, recorded permission grants, disable state and native messaging relationships from standard macOS stable-profile folders. Required and optional declarations remain separate from recorded granted, desired-active and runtime permission sets. These records do not establish effective access or execution. Native host relationships use allowed extension IDs; native programs are never launched.

Reads bounded extension manifests, Preferences, Secure Preferences and local native host definitions. Emits no browsing history, cookies, conversations, extension descriptions, executable paths or URL paths/queries. Host patterns are reduced to origins, so content-script path restrictions are not preserved. Broad permissions are review context, not a malware verdict. Missing, malformed, denied and truncated sources remain visible. The offline comparison command compares this plugin's own reports.

Safari, nonstable browser channels, custom profile folders, effective-permission checks, cryptographic preference verification and malicious-extension detection are unsupported. Collection selects the current home's standard browser roots, plus the supported system native-host definition directories. Results require encrypted scans. First-party plugins inherit host access; manifest capabilities are declarations, not an independent OS sandbox.

What it reads

Publisher-declared sources for this catalog entry. This list describes intended collection; it does not confine an unsandboxed plugin's file access. The published app's install screen may show older static descriptions rather than the publisher declarations shown here.

• Chrome/Edge standard profile extension manifests
• Chrome/Edge Preferences and Secure Preferences extension settings
• Chrome/Edge user and system native messaging host definitions

Access and output privacy

Declared privacy requirements and the current execution path. Output classification describes what the plugin emits; it is separate from the files its process can read.

• Declared macOS access No privacy services listed
• Declared output Content data — requires an encrypted scan
• Runtime Trusted, unsandboxed process. MacCrab validates its Developer ID signature before execution. It inherits the host's privileges, including available Full Disk Access.
• Network The first-party execution path does not enforce an outbound-network block. A publisher's declaration of no network use is a behavior claim.

What it emits

Structured record types this plugin produces. Each row in your case database is one of these.

Verification for v0.1.0

Release checks recorded on 2026-09-28. These are the catalog's records for this version; this page does not perform a new independent build or collection test.

Source rebuild not applicable: this first-party entry does not publish a source repository for independent rebuilding. You can verify the publisher signature and pinned artifact digests against trusted keys. A recorded maintainer rebuild check does not provide independent source verification.

Revocation status comes from the signature-verified revocation list (serial 2), issued 2026-07-26. The website checks it during its build; MacCrab checks its own verified list when installing. The issue date does not describe the client's last successful fetch.

No revocation for v0.1.0 is recorded in that list.

Verify the signatures, artifact digests, and revocation list yourself.

Versions

Historical vetting is retained even when a release is revoked. “Current” identifies the version selected by the catalog.
