What This Extension Does
BetterCampus (previously BetterCanvas) is a feature-packed extension designed for Canvas users, aiming to enhance their productivity and experience on the platform.Permissions Explained
- storage: Allows the extension to store data locally in the user's browser, which is standard for extensions that need to remember settings or cache data.
- tabs: Enables the extension to interact with web pages, including reading and modifying tab metadata. This permission is also common for extensions that need to inject content scripts into specific tabs.
- <all_urls>: Grants the extension access to all URLs visited by the user, which is unusual for an educational productivity tool like BetterCampus. This level of access could potentially be used for malicious purposes if not properly restricted.
What We Found in the Code
- The extension makes HTTP requests, which is a normal pattern for extensions that need to fetch data from external APIs or services.
- Content scripts are injected into various domains, including
<all_urls>, indicating the extension's intent to monitor and interact with web pages beyond its own domain. This is consistent with its purpose as an educational productivity tool.
External Connections
The extension communicates with several domains:i.pinimg.com(image hosting)www.w3.org(web standards organization)canvas.instructure.com(Canvas platform)react.dev(React framework documentation)graph.microsoft.com(Microsoft Graph API, possibly for authentication or data integration)bettercampus.com,ext.bettercampus.com, andfeedback.bettercampus.com(extension's own domains)github.com(GitHub repository hosting)tgsubtjsssttyptpovop.supabase.co(Supabase API, possibly for data storage or analytics)
Things to Consider
Given BetterCampus' purpose as an educational productivity tool, its permissions seem broad. The<all_urls> permission stands out as potentially excessive for this type of extension. Users should consider whether they trust the extension completely and whether its access is necessary for its intended functionality.Similar Extensions
