Not a bad little extension. I use it for my phpBB forum, for checking unread threads, works perfectly. However, can do with some cosmetic work, maybe give the settings page a makeover. Other than that, good extension.

Helpful little extension for power users. Going a little beyond simple checking of Web content, it will allow you to define a regular expression for any page and either count the number of hits OR let you extract numbers to display directly. Clever. Bugs: * Does not handle unresponsive websites gracefully. * Sometimes freezes and stops working for no apparent reason.

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.

Website Checker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.

Website Checker has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
