About Permission Sentinel

Permission Sentinel helps you understand what your Chrome extensions can actually do by translating technical permissions into plain English with intelligent risk scoring. 🔍 WHAT IT DOES: • Analyzes all your installed extensions and shows their permissions in simple language • Provides risk scores (Low/Medium/High/Dangerous) based on permission combinations • Shows a warning banner on Chrome Web Store before you install risky extensions • Identifies legitimate extensions (like uBlock Origin, password managers) that need high permissions 🛡️ KEY FEATURES: • Smart risk assessment with context-aware scoring • Detects dangerous permission combinations (e.g., cookies + browsing history + network access) • Identifies behavioral red flags (clipboard access, screenshot capture, keypress monitoring) • Dark mode support with automatic theme detection • Zero external dependencies - all analysis happens locally ✅ PRIVACY FIRST: • No data collection or tracking • No external API calls • Works completely offline • Open source on GitHub 🎯 WHO NEEDS THIS: • Anyone concerned about browser security and privacy • Users who want to understand what extensions can access • People tired of "scary permission warnings" without context • Security-conscious individuals protecting sensitive data Permission Sentinel makes it easy to make informed decisions about which extensions to trust.
