Overview

This extension audits installed Chrome extensions, apps, and themes. It analyzes their requested permissions and provides a risk assessment.

Features:

* Permission Audit: Scans all installed extensions, apps, and legacy apps.
* Risk Assessment: Assigns a color-coded risk level to each permission and overall "risk score" based on all extensions.
* 🟢 Green (None): The extension requires no special permissions.
* 🟡 Yellow (Low): Low-risk permissions.
* 🟤 Brown (Medium): Medium-risk permissions.
* 🔴 Red (High/Critical): High or Critical-risk permissions.
* Detailed Views:
* View permissions requested by each extension.
* View extensions that request specific permissions.
* Compare your risk score with aggregated anonymous user data.
* Privacy: Requires the "management" permission to access your extensions list. It does not access sensitive personal information.
* Access & Customization:
* Open the scanner from the toolbar icon or keyboard shortcut (`Alt+Shift+S` / `Cmd+Shift+S`) by default.
* Option to change the extension icon (default, red, green, orange, beige, or custom upload).
* Option to open results in a new tab or the current tab.
* Comes with a quick start guide and options page includes more help resources.

Purpose:

Permissions can indicate potential risks. This tool helps you:
* Identify extensions with broad access.
* Understand individual permission implications.
* Compare current browser to others.
