Ben Chen (ID: 000000101314a1a9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/31/2023 What an awesome extension! Props to whoever made it. The developers must be genius, not only does this extension have a 96.77% accuracy, but it only parses the URL and doesn't access the source code! What an invaluable privacy win. This tool improved by cybersecurity and is a huge blow to all the malicious black-hatters out there.
