uBO-Scope is a powerful Chrome extension designed to quantify your third-party exposure while browsing the web. It calculates a unique 3rd-party exposure score based on the number and ubiquity of third-party network requests triggered by websites you visit. This score helps you understand how much your privacy might be compromised through external domains embedded in web pages.

Unlike traditional blockers, uBO-Scope does not block or alter network traffic but observes requests to identify third-party calls. Its scoring accounts for both the variety of distinct third parties and how frequently they appear across your browsing history. The extension supports all WebExtensions-based blockers and works independently of content-blocking tools such as uBlock Origin. By highlighting your exposure, uBO-Scope empowers you to take informed actions to improve your online privacy.

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.

uBO-Scope 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 Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

uBO-Scope has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
