Jan 21, 2014 - First released. I wrote this app because I couldn't find anything else like it in the chrome web store and there's been a lot of buzz about chrome extension malware recently. I have some ideas for further improvements to make to this app, but welcome your feedback!

Does exactly what it says it does. Those idiots that give it one star can't read.

Well it warns me what may be a high risk harmful extensions! Not useful for what I was looking for.

Ok maybe I din't read the description perfectly but this provides no security at all. It just ranks "risks" based on what promissions they have. No security details, no options, and not even any security! The stupid extenshion even says it is a risk! Don't even waste your time with this garbage.

Eine excellente Erweiterung. Endlich sieht man mal in übersichtlicher Art und Weise, welche Extensions/Apps auf welche Seiten etc. zugreifen. Hoffentlich bleibt sie im Chrome Store und wird weiter entwickelt.
Nice! Does what it says

Useful. Thanks for taking the time.

Works as expected. Tell you which app uses what permission and a bit of factors for evaluating "trust-worthiness". Helped me in cleaning things a bit. Thanks for the extension.
