Extension Auditor – Audit, Assess, and Manage Your Browser Security Posture
Overview
Extension Auditor is a powerful all-in-one Chrome extension designed to help users manage, monitor, and secure their browser environment. It brings together three key features: Secure Extension Manager, Extension Activity Logs, and Privacy Settings Manager — all packaged into a single privacy-focused tool.
⸻
Extension Auditor App
Perform comprehensive offline, on-device security analysis of installed browser extensions.
• Permission Analysis: Understand the security implications of each permission requested.
• Host Access Review: Detect extensions with overly broad host permissions, such as access to all websites (<all_urls>) or sensitive domains like banking portals or internal tools.
• Content Script Inspection: Identify extensions injecting scripts into web pages, potentially impacting privacy and security.
• Manifest Analysis: Review extension manifest configurations to assess compliance with best practices.
• Dangerous Combinations Detection: Detect extensions that pose risks through combinations of permissions, host access, and content scripts.
• Risk Dashboard: View a summary of all high-risk extensions and take action accordingly.
• CRX/ZIP Archival: Automatically saves available CRX/ZIP packages for installed extensions.
• Ideal for IT administrators, security professionals, and privacy-conscious users.
⸻
Extension Activity Logs App
Gain full lifecycle visibility into browser extensions through real-time logging.
• Tracks important events:
• Installation and uninstallation
• Enable and disable events
• Version upgrades and downgrades
• Permission changes during version updates
• Sort logs by extension name, state, ID, and event type.
• Export logs for auditing, incident response, or backup purposes.
• Presented in a clean, tabular format optimized for quick analysis.
⸻
Privacy Settings Manager App
Improve your browser security posture using a risk-based privacy score and configurable toggles.
• Privacy Score: A snapshot of how secure your current browser settings are.
• Quick Toggles: Control the most important browser privacy and tracking settings.
• Manage the following privacy areas:
• Block JavaScript, third-party cookies, and notification prompts
• Disable referer headers, client hints, and predictive network behavior
• Turn off autofill, omnibox suggestions, and spelling services
• Block access to camera, microphone, and location
• Disable images, custom fonts, and ad tracking
• Strip tracking parameters from URLs
• Auto-delete cookies on exit
• Block pings, beacons, and CSP reports
• Set Accept-Language header to en-US to minimize fingerprinting
Optional permissions are requested only for the Privacy Settings Manager. Core functionality like Secure Extension Manager and Activity Logs work without additional permissions.

- (2025-01-19) Extra Virgi: Security of extensions does unfortunately not get enough attention. It is no easy task to determine whether an extension is safe or malicious. 5-star reviews are too often fake since Google does not verify them. Even fully functional extensions may quietly transmit user data without consent. Extension Auditor provides a detailed overview of the permissions requested by each extension, prioritizing them based on their level of invasiveness. It allows me to focus on the most invasive extensions first and helps me answer the question "Is the potential risk posed by this extension worth its functionality?" P.S. I love the update that it now also shows the permissions per extension as a table in addition to the grid overview + CSV download. When you have more than 100 extensions it makes it so much easier on the eyes. Feature requests: 1. Filter between manifest 2 and manifest 3 extensions 2. Include a table showing all recently updated extensions, along with an indicator of whether their required permissions have changed Keep up the great work!
