CHANGELOG: Latest Update requires a new permission to know the currently active tab. This falls under the "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" notification. The reason for this is a huge performance improvement: The extension now only runs its tests on the active tab, instead of all tabs at once. Once you switch tabs, the tests for the newly active tab are run.
TrackerSSL monitors the third party connections loaded when you visit a page and checks whether or not they support HTTPS. We assign a score for a given page, based on how many trackers support HTTPS. We determine HTTPS support by running each tracker URL through the EFF's HTTPS Everywhere engine.
The extension also looks for unique identifiers sent to third parties, and notes whether or not they have been sent securely or not.
With this knowledge, you can tweet to the website hosts and ask them to implement better security practices on their sites, use more secure trackers, or, thank websites that are secure!
This is still an alpha release. For best results, TrackerSSL should be installed *before* ad blocking extensions, so that it can run its tests before third parties are blocked.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
