Trust URI Validator Extension

Validates Trust URIs

This browser extension validates a Trust URI (trust://<domain>!) present in a social media account page, as specified in Internet-Draft Organization Trust Relationship Protocol https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-org-trust-relationship-protocol/.

The extension will highlight a Trust URI on a social media account page with an icon, indicating if the Trust URI is validated against the trust.txt file found at the domain specified in the Trust URI. Clicking on the icon will provide an message describing the validation state.

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.

Trust URI Validator Extension requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
