The extension provides viewers access to websites showing web monetized exclusive content via leveraging payment sources like Coil.

Currently, the technology is in nascent stages and does not protect the creator's content, and forces every creator to implement a "Sign in with Coil" on every website to enforce protection. This is not only inconvenient for the viewers, but also raises privacy concerns.

To the rescue, just install Insulate extension and SSO with Coil once. Rest, the extension will provide access to the creators on your behalf without you being needing to log in on any webpage, ensuring your privacy (even we don't know your email address, so no way the creator can know) along with protecting creators content.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Project Insulate requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Project Insulate is very likely to contain malware and should not be trusted. Avoid installing.
