About ExtGuard (Alpha)

🔒 Know What Your Extensions Are Really Doing ExtGuard analyzes your installed Chrome extensions for privacy and security risks.

Permissions Risk (50%) - Analyzes requested permissions like cookies, webRequest, tabs 2. Data Collection Score (30%) - Detects patterns indicating tracking or data harvesting 3. Trust Score (20%) - Evaluates source credibility (Chrome Web Store vs development) Each extension gets a detailed report with: • Overall risk level with color-coded badge • Breakdown of permission, data collection, and trust risks • Specific privacy concerns identified • Recommendations for safer browsing • Complete list of requested permissions 📊 YOUR PRIVACY DASHBOARD • Security Score: 0-10 rating of your browser's overall safety • Quick Stats: Total extensions, high-risk count, medium-risk count • Extension List: Sortable and filterable by risk level • Detailed View: Deep dive into each extension's privacy profile 🛡️ PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN ExtGuard is built with your privacy in mind: ✓ 100% local analysis - nothing leaves your computer ✓ No telemetry or tracking ✓ No data collection ✓ No ads ✓ Open permissions - only requests what's needed The extension only needs: • "management" - to read your extension list • "storage" - to save scan results locally • "alarms" - to schedule automatic scans • "notifications" - to alert you of risks (optional) 🚀 ALPHA VERSION - FREE FOR EVERYONE ExtGuard is currently in alpha and completely free.

A: No. 100% of the analysis happens locally on your device. We never see your data. Q: Will this slow down my browser? A: No. ExtGuard runs scans in the background and has minimal performance impact. Q: How accurate is the risk scoring? A: ExtGuard uses a carefully calibrated algorithm based on permission risk scores, data collection patterns, and trust signals. While no automated system is perfect, it's designed by cybersecurity professionals to identify real privacy risks. Q: Can it detect malware? A: ExtGuard focuses on privacy and data collection risks, not malware. For malware detection, use antivirus software. Q: What happens after the alpha period? A: ExtGuard will become a paid extension ($3.99 one-time payment).
