Detecting Installed Extensions in Chromium-Based Browsers
The 'Extension Fingerprints' project is a tool aimed at improving online security through identifying browser extensions. The authors of this project realized that many extensions could disclose user data or be used for unwanted activities. This tool analyzes various features of extensions and can help users better understand which extensions may be safe and which may pose a risk. It also offers the ability to compare different extensions and provides information regarding their functionalities. The goal of the project is to raise awareness about online security and to provide users with insights that aid in making better decisions about the tools they use.
