Works with the latest Chrome after `xdebug helper` was killed.

Ja*****, 2025-03-11

It works! Found this after the 'xdebug helper' extension stopped working and it just works.

Why was the green color of the icon removed? This made it very easy to see if Xdebug is enabled or not. The color is even still shown in the options, but not used anymore.

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.

Xdebug Chrome Extension 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.

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.
