Extension Auditor Pro - Assess Risk & Improve Browser Security Posture

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.

Chrome Extension Security

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 optimised 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.
