FAQ

The inspector, explained.

For any published extension, it shows the manifest basics (name, version, Manifest version), the full permission and host-access list with the exact install warnings each triggers, the file count, and the total package size.

You paste an extension ID or Web Store URL. Our server fetches the extension's published package from Google, reads its manifest.json, and returns the details. It's entirely read-only.

No. It only downloads and reads the package's manifest — nothing is installed, executed, or modified. It's a safe, read-only inspection.
