About

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.
