Summary
Browser WatchDog scans and removes annoying, intrusive, and malicious extensions that creeped into your browser! Bad extensions - be gone! ☠️
Bad extensions can cause anything from an annoying browsing experience such as bombardment by ads to serious information leakages. Browser WatchDog works out of the box and immediately after installation scans all your installed extensions, analyzes their permissions, and compares them to known and unknown blacklists and bad actors. Once a compromised add-on or extension is found in your browser, Browser WatchDog lets you remove it with a single click. Scanning can be triggered manually by clicking the Browser WatchDog icon but is also done periodically, a few times a day.
Browser WatchDog is completely FREE and no signup is required.
- Browser WatchDog is an independent developer and is not affiliated with any major browser manufacturer. *
