What is Extension Inspector?

Extension Inspector is a powerful desktop application designed to help you take control of your browser security. In today's digital landscape, browser extensions can be incredibly useful — but they can also pose significant privacy and security risks if they request excessive permissions.

Extension Inspector runs locally on your Windows device and performs deep scans of your installed browser extensions across Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Firefox. It analyzes each extension's permissions and flags those that may be accessing more data than necessary, helping you make informed decisions about which extensions to keep and which to remove.

Unlike online tools that require you to upload sensitive data, Extension Inspector operates entirely offline, ensuring your privacy is never compromised. Your extension data never leaves your device.

Why Choose Extension Inspector?

Browser extensions can be security risks. Many extensions request broad permissions that allow them to read your browsing history, access passwords, track your activity, and even modify web pages. While most extensions are safe, malicious or poorly-coded extensions can compromise your privacy and security.

Extension Inspector gives you visibility. It's designed for privacy-conscious users who want to understand exactly what their extensions are doing. Whether you're a security professional, a concerned parent, or simply someone who values online privacy, Extension Inspector provides the insights you need to stay safe.
