The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About Baseline
Baseline reads the security configuration of the page you're on and explains it —
what's set, what's missing, what's actively harmful, and where to start fixing it.
It is passive by design. It never probes a site, never tests for vulnerabilities,
and never sends anything anywhere. Everything it shows is what your browser
already received on a normal page load — the same information you'd find in
DevTools, gathered and explained for you.
WHAT IT CHECKS
- Response headers, graded on their value — a header set to a harmful value
scores worse than one that's simply absent
- Content-Security-Policy, analysed for real weaknesses, not just presence
- CORS misconfiguration — treated as the genuine vulnerability it is
- Deprecated headers and broken cookie flags
- Cookie Secure / HttpOnly / SameSite (flags only — never values)
- Third-party domains, missing Subresource Integrity, unsandboxed iframes,
reverse-tabnabbing links, mixed content, HTTP forms, password fields on
unencrypted pages, token-shaped localStorage keys
THE FIX, NOT JUST THE FINDING
Every problem opens to a plain explanation and a concrete starting point for
fixing it, written for the web server or hosting platform the page is actually
running on. Baseline derives the values from the page itself — suggesting
SAMEORIGIN over DENY when a page frames itself, and drafting a
Content-Security-Policy from what the page actually loads, always in Report-Only
mode first, because a strict policy pasted blind will break a real site.
TRACK CHANGES OVER TIME
Star a site to watch it. Baseline tells you when a header disappears in a deploy —
storing only the domain and header states, never your browsing history.
HONEST ABOUT ITS LIMITS
Headers are the cheapest thing on a site to fix and the least revealing. Baseline
tells you, in the tool, that a good grade is not a security assessment. Its full
scoring methodology is published.
PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION
No server. No analytics. No telemetry. No remote code. No tracking. The only
things stored are your settings and the watchlist you build yourself, on your own
device.
