Enables uberAgent to collect web app usage and performance data (e.g., foreground tab, page load duration) from Chrome. Break down strings into unicode codepoints
Full summary

IMPORTANT: this extension requires the uberAgent endpoint agent for Windows or macOS. The browser extension does not work without the agent.

uberAgent is the perfect solution for Windows and macOS end-user computing analytics, focused on user experience and application performance monitoring. It measures logon duration, GPU usage, network latency, browser performance and application unresponsiveness, to name just a few of its many high-quality metrics not easily found elsewhere. And it does all that from an agent so efficient that is has one of the smallest footprints in the industry.

uberAgent is optimized for physical and virtual apps and desktops including Citrix and VMware products. uberAgent easily answers questions like the following:

  • How can we speed up user logons?
  • How much time do our employees lose waiting for applications?
  • Why is the Windows boot process taking so long?
  • Are Outlook problems really caused by the Exchange backend?
  • How many licenses do we need for application X?
  • Which apps do our user spend most of their time with?

This extension is intended for people who look at strings on web pages and need to know what those strings really contain. (e.g., someone using a web-based computer forensics tool looking at potentially deliberately tricky command lines)

This rips apart any highlighted text into its component Unicode code points, and shows how that text would be written in UTF-8 or UTF-16LE (UTF-16LE is what the Windows kernel uses for strings). It also allows one to edit UTF-8 or UTF-16 bytes and shows what strings they become. The byte representations can also use base64.

To cut down on memory use, this extension loads Unicode names (pulled from the Unicode® Character Database) into memory as needed on a block-by-block basis, so there may be a tiny delay when looking up the first character of a given block.

Preferences are saved with "Chrome sync"; the most recently viewed string is saved locally.
