Permission Scanner for Chrome

About

This extension audits installed Chrome extensions, apps, and themes. It analyzes their requested permissions and provides a risk assessment.

Features:

*   Permission Audit: Scans all installed extensions, apps, and legacy apps.
*   Risk Assessment: Assigns a color-coded risk level to each permission and overall "risk score" based on all extensions.
    *   🟢 Green (None): The extension requires no special permissions.
    *   🟡 Yellow (Low): Low-risk permissions.
    *   🟤 Brown (Medium): Medium-risk permissions.
    *   🔴 Red (High/Critical): High or Critical-risk permissions.
*   Detailed Views:
    *   View permissions requested by each extension.
    *   View extensions that request specific permissions.
    *   Compare your risk score with aggregated anonymous user data.
*  Privacy: Requires the "management" permission to access your extensions list. It does not access sensitive personal information.
*  Access & Customization:
    *   Open the scanner from the toolbar icon or keyboard shortcut (`Alt+Shift+S` / `Cmd+Shift+S`) by default.
    *   Option to change the extension icon (default, red, green, orange, beige, or custom upload).
    *   Option to open results in a new tab or the current tab.
    *   Comes with a quick start guide and options page includes more help resources.
