Security of extensions does unfortunately not get enough attention. It is no easy task to determine whether an extension is safe or malicious. 5-star reviews are too often fake since Google does not verify them.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! 🙌 I completely agree that the security of extensions doesn’t always get the attention it deserves, and hopefully extension auditor is able to help you in making informed decision per your risk appetite. I’m thrilled to hear that you find the permission prioritization feature helpful in evaluating the risks vs. benefits of extensions. Your point about fake reviews and quiet data transmission is spot-on—it’s a tough challenge to navigate without the right tools. I’m also glad you’re enjoying the latest updates, particularly the table view and CSV download! With over 100 extensions, I can imagine how much more manageable it makes things. 😊 Regarding your feature requests: 1. Filter between Manifest v2 and v3 extensions: This is an excellent suggestion! I’m exploring ways to implement this, as the differences between the two manifest versions have significant security implications. 2. Recently updated extensions with permission changes: Love this idea! Tracking permission changes is key to identifying potential red flags. I’ll definitely consider adding this to the roadmap. Thank you again for your encouraging words and helpful feedback. I t’s users like you who inspire me to keep improving Extension Auditor! 🚀
