Summary

The world of browsing extensions is vast - ranging from simple spell-checkers and shopping assistants to full-blown, in-browser, CRM systems. Most make our lives easier, but some have undesired effects from clogging the browser's resources to injecting ads, violating privacy by planting trackers, to creating borderline malicious activity.

Doctor's "Browser X-ray" treats your browser to detect such parasite-like extensions. Get a quick examination by the Doctor and revitalize your browser to make it run like the day your first installed it.

Doctor's free version allows on-demand scanning and "healing" for known bad extensions. Doctor's premium version performs scans automatically and periodically without any user interaction.

  • Update: The premium version is currently unavailable due to store policy changes regarding in-app extensions payments.

Hello, I hope you're having a splendid day! I am currently seeking opportunities to expand my business operations by investing in extensions with a significant user base, beginning from 50,000 users and up. No matter if your extension has a modest user base or counts its users in the millions, I am interested and ready to negotiate a purchase. If you are in possession of such an extension and looking to turn it into a profit, please consider reaching out to me. We can discuss the price and proceed with a transparent and secure transaction through a trusted escrow service based in the United States. It's great that Google allows the transfer of extension ownership between accounts, so your Google account ownership will remain intact. If you have any needs, please contact us via the following contacts Whatsapp: +1 (248) 896‑8035 Telegram: t.me/harryysandersonn
