Super useful to see all the extensions in one place and get rid of the ones I am not using anymore.
Saved me a good amount of time.
Not sure if it has context though. As I will definitely continue using my password manager etc.
Thank you @akash_kloudle for taking the time to try out our extension and sharing your feedback! đ
Youâve raised a great point about contextâlet me clarify how Extension Auditor works:
1ď¸âŁ Privacy-First Approach: The tool operates entirely offline and on-device, ensuring your data stays private.
2ď¸âŁ Risk Analysis Explained: The risk ratings are based on a static analysis of an extension's permissions and capabilities. This means:
High-risk doesnât equal maliciousâit highlights the potential for misuse if the extension is compromised, changes ownership, or becomes malicious. Taking a recent example for reference: https://www.cyberhaven.com/blog/...
Itâs a way to empower users to make informed decisions about their security.
3ď¸âŁ Best Practices: Regularly auditing your extensions and reviewing their permissions is essential, as extension behavior can change over time.
We recommend using your discretion and aligning decisions with your unique security needsâespecially for critical tools like password managers!
Thanks again for the valuable feedback and for giving Extension Auditor a spin. đ Let us know if you have more thoughts or suggestions!
