Iframe Detector

Provides iframe information when detected on the current page, and allows them to be deleted.

What is Iframe Detector?

Iframe Detector is a Chrome extension designed to enhance web security. This tool notifies users when it detects iframes on a web page by showing an extension badge with the count of iframes. This extension is beneficial in providing security measures against potentially malicious scripts hidden within iframes. Offering an in-depth understanding of Cross Frame Scripting, it alerts about the potential hazards of iframes on sites handling sensitive data such as banking details. It allows users to access and delete specific iframes indicated with 'src' tags, also informing on the 'src'. The extension gives the ability to view and delete any detected iframe on the web page.

Alerts users if iframes are present on a web page with an extension badge that tracks the number of iframes detected.

Provides additional security by giving visibility against sites containing iframes with malicious script. How can an iframe affect my security? See the following explanation of cross frame scripting: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cross_Frame_Scripting

Pages often utilize iframes legitimately, but proceed with caution if these are used on sites with sensitive information (banking, username/password).

The extension allows you to view and delete specific iframes with 'src' tags, and provides information on the 'src'. All iframes detected on the page are able to be deleted.

I do not understand the authors comment that this plugin is useless.

works like a charm, able to get the real PDF source link with it. It would be good if it directly redirects us to the PDF file source instead of copy pasting the PDF link.

It's a good and useful extension - thanks for sharing! But it's purpose seems to be solely focused on external iFrame domains. In application developmend the domains are often the same for iframe and main page which makes listing them less useful. Instead we use the name tag like name="theSomethingIFrame" which is more telling. Would wish for a option to display iframe name instead of source domain or a mix of both. By the way on the publishers website the blog comment option dosen't work - it points to an godady error page.
