## Description

**Permission Inspector** is a powerful Chrome extension designed to give users complete visibility over all permissions used by their installed browser extensions. Unlike the initial permission prompt during installation, this tool provides ongoing insights into what each extension can access and perform within your browser.

Key features include two distinct views: an extension-wise view that lists permissions used by each add-on, and a permission-wise view that shows all add-ons utilizing a particular permission. This comprehensive snapshot helps users manage and audit their extensions effectively. Furthermore, Permission Inspector supports over 30 languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, and more, making it accessible to a broad global audience.
