Extension summary

The TruffleHog chrome extension looks for API keys and credentials on websites visited, and alerts you if there are any present. This is useful for doing pentests and code reviews, because it helps identify keys that would otherwise either be missed or have to be searched for manually

User reviews

The popups are broken. Sometimes there are like ten of them with the same content. They block the browser until you interact with the pop-up. Notifications would work way better.
