Code Verify: Ensuring Web App Authenticity

Code Verify is an open-source browser extension designed to verify that the web-based versions of WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger use authentic, unaltered code. Unlike mobile apps that have built-in verification protocols, web apps run JavaScript code that can potentially be modified by bad actors. Code Verify scans and compares the JavaScript code served in your browser against a known, publicly posted "source of truth" on Cloudflare. When discrepancies are detected, the extension immediately alerts users, providing an added layer of security for privacy-conscious individuals.

By bringing transparency to web apps, Code Verify empowers users to trust that their messaging clients are genuine and unmodified. It also automatically updates alongside official client updates to maintain continuous verification. Open sourcing the extension encourages broader adoption and trust, allowing other companies to apply similar web binary transparency methods to their web-based applications. With Code Verify, users gain confidence that their web app experience matches what developers intended, advancing online privacy and security.
