Iframe Detector

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

Iframe Detector is a powerful Chrome extension designed to alert users when iframes are present on a webpage. It displays an extension badge indicating the number of iframes detected, offering transparency and enhanced security by revealing potentially malicious embedded content that could affect your browsing safety.

This tool is especially useful for users cautious about cross frame scripting, a security risk where malicious scripts may be injected via iframes. Iframe Detector not only provides detailed information about each iframe's 'src' attribute but also empowers users to delete individual or all iframes on a page, offering control over content especially on sensitive sites such as banking or login pages. Stay informed and secure with Iframe Detector, your companion for safer web browsing.

User reviews

Users find Iframe Detector effective for detecting iframes, providing source information, and running smoothly without interference. However, multiple reviewers highlight that it does not block iframes, which limits security, and has no support for cross-domain iframe detection. Developers desire showing iframe names rather than just domains. Certain convenience features like direct redirection to PDF sources and fixing broken support links are also requested. Overall, it serves its detection purpose well but lacks advanced or blocking functionalities.
Pros
  • Effectively detects iframes and their source domains.
  • Provides useful information about real PDF source links within iframes.
  • Operates smoothly and unobtrusively in the background.
  • Adds a layer of security by notifying about iframes without blocking them.
  • Simple and easy to use for users who need iframe detection.
Cons
  • Does not block iframes, leading to limited security benefits for some users.
  • Lacks support for detecting cross-domain iframes properly.
  • Only shows iframe source domain but does not display iframe 'name' attribute, which some developers find more useful.
  • Requires manual copying of PDF links instead of directly redirecting to them.
  • Some features or website links related to the extension are broken or lead to errors.

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.
