User reviews
Security of extensions does unfortunately not get enough attention. It is no easy task to determine whether an extension is safe or malicious. 5-star reviews are too often fake since Google does not verify them. Even fully functional extensions may quietly transmit user data without consent.
Extension Auditor provides a detailed overview of the permissions requested by each extension, prioritizing them based on their level of invasiveness. It allows me to focus on the most invasive extensions first and helps me answer the question "Is the potential risk posed by this extension worth its functionality?"
P.S. I love the update that it now also shows the permissions per extension as a table in addition to the grid overview + CSV download. When you have more than 100 extensions it makes it so much easier on the eyes.
Feature requests:
1. Filter between manifest 2 and manifest 3 extensions
2. Include a table showing all recently updated extensions, along with an indicator of whether their required permissions have changed
Keep up the great work!
