OG Spy Extension

The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. It can be achieved by placing numerous meta-tags in the page's header. This extension retrieves and displays few of them, namely:
● og:title
● og:description
● og:image
If 'og:title' or 'og:description' are omitted, then values of standard 'title' and 'description' meta-tags will be displayed respectively. 'og:image' if exists, is displayed graphically.

Jeremy Comer (ID: 0000002f1af8cce5) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/11/2021 Nice, Simple, Works. Really good for testing on a localhost development site. Shows the open graph preview in a simple popup when you click the extension button. AND doesn't need any unnecessary permissions or additional site access.
