Extension Inspector is a powerful Chrome extension that lets you inspect the source code and assets of browser extensions for Firefox and Chromium-based browsers. By adding a convenient page action button on web extension store pages such as addons.mozilla.org (AMO) and the Chrome Web Store (CWS), it enables developers and curious users to quickly analyze and review extension contents without leaving the store page.

Ideal for developers and security-conscious users, Extension Inspector streamlines the process of checking extensions for transparency and integrity. It supports both Firefox and Chrome extensions, providing a seamless cross-browser inspection experience.

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.

Extension Inspector does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

Extension Inspector is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
