Take Control of Your Browser's Security with Extension Guard

Browser extensions are powerful tools that add functionality to your browsing experience—from blocking ads to enhancing productivity. However, with great power comes great responsibility. Unmanaged extensions can expose you to security risks, drain browser performance, and even compromise your data. Enter Extension Guard, a revolutionary new tool designed to secure and manage your browser extensions with ease. Powered by Chrome-Stats (the leading provider of browser extension analytics), Extension Guard empowers users to take full control of their extensions. Available today on Chrome and Firefox (Edge coming soon), this extension is a must-have for privacy-conscious users.

What Is Extension Guard?

Extension Guard is a cross-browser tool that simplifies extension management while prioritizing security. By leveraging data from Chrome-Stats, it provides actionable insights into every extension's risk level, permissions, and stats. Whether you're a casual user or an IT professional, Extension Guard offers peace of mind by putting you back in the driver's seat.

Key Features

Here's how Extension Guard transforms your browser security:

  • 🛠️ Comprehensive Extension Management: View all installed extensions in one dashboard. Easily enable, disable, or remove them with a single click.

  • 📊 Risk Assessment Powered by Chrome-Stats: Each extension is assigned a risk level based on Chrome-Stats' vast database.

  • 🔍 Permission Transparency: See exactly what permissions an extension requires (e.g., access to your tabs, browsing history, or camera).

  • 🔔 Real-Time Notifications: Get instant alerts when an extension is installed, updated, or removed — ideal for spotting suspicious activity or unauthorized changes.

  • 🌐 Cross-Browser Compatibility: Whether you use Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, Extension Guard works seamlessly across platforms.

Why You Need Extension Guard

  • ⚠️ Security Risks: Malicious extensions can hijack your data, inject ads, or track your activity.
  • 🐌 Performance Issues: Too many extensions slow down your browser.
  • ❗ Lack of Awareness: Most users don't review permissions or updates, leaving them vulnerable.

With Extension Guard, you'll always know which extensions to trust. For example, if a weather app suddenly requests access to your microphone, you'll receive an alert to investigate.
