Ever wonder what your browser extensions are really doing? Many extensions have access to your most sensitive data, operating like black boxes without your knowledge. You deserve to know who you can trust.
Introducing Watchtower, your personal security guard for your browser.
Watchtower is a powerful privacy and security tool that scans every extension you have installed. It analyzes their permissions in plain English and assigns a simple risk score so you can see at a glance, which extensions might be overstepping their boundaries.
Key Features
Permission Scanner & Risk Analysis: Watchtower automatically analyzes every extension on your browser and flags dangerous permissions that could compromise your privacy.
Easy-to-Understand Ratings: Extensions are categorized into "High Risk," "Use Caution," or "Minimal Risk" so you can make informed decisions quickly.
Proactive Sensitive Site Alerts: Receive a clear, non-intrusive warning banner if a "High Risk" extension is active on sensitive websites like your bank, email, or social media pages.
Plain English Explanations: Finally understand what "access your data on all websites" actually means. Watchtower translates confusing developer jargon into clear, concise explanations.
Active Extension Dashboard: See exactly which extensions are running on your current webpage at any time.
Upgrade to the Watchtower Suite (Optional One-Time Purchase)
For the ultimate in privacy control, upgrade to the Watchtower Suite and unlock a set of powerful, automated tools:
Context-Aware Controls: The flagship premium feature. Automatically disable specific extensions on the websites you choose. Stop your shopping coupon extension from running on your online banking site! When you leave the site, Watchtower intelligently re-enables the extension for you.
Extension Profiles (Workspaces): Are you tired of a cluttered toolbar? Create and switch between profiles like "Work," "Social Media," or "Reading" to enable only the extensions you need for that task with a single click.
Permission Change History: Get a permanent, timestamped log of every time an extension adds or removes permissions during an update. Instantly catch when a once-safe extension becomes more invasive.
Browse with Confidence: Stop guessing and know exactly what your extensions are doing.
Prevent Privacy Leaks: Easily identify and manage extensions that demand too much access to your data.
Take Back Control: Go beyond simple on/off switches with powerful, automated rules and profiles that put you in charge.
Your Privacy is Paramount: Watchtower performs all its analysis locally on your computer. Your data, browse history, and extension information never leave your machine.
