    Hi all!

    I am the founder of Chrome-Stats here. We just relaunched our extension (Extension Guard) to offer a more comprehensive solution for securing and managing your browser extensions.

    Extension Guard is a cross-browser tool that simplifies managing extensions while focusing on security. It utilizes data from Chrome-Stats to provide insights into each extension’s risk level, permissions, and more.

    Key Features Comprehensive Management: See all your installed extensions in one place. Easily enable, disable, or remove them with a click.

    Risk Assessment: Each extension receives a risk level based on data from Chrome-Stats.

    Permission Transparency: Find out what permissions each extension requires, like access to your tabs or browsing history.

    Real-Time Notifications: Be alerted instantly when an extension is installed, updated, or removed, keeping you aware of any suspicious activity.
