Browser extensions ecosystem is broken. It is hurting everyone. Regular users need the convenience of browser extensions, but do not know which ones are really safe to install. Organizations need to allow their employees to use browser extensions to enhance productivity, but one malicious extension can lead to leaking proprietary secrets. Extension developers also faced many challenges. 85% of extensions have less than 1,000 users. There are no tools to help them stand out against competition. They can rarely monetize their works. As a result, some turn to selling user data, injecting ads, replacing search engines, or even sell their extensions to shady organizations. ChromeStats is trying to fix up the broken ecosystem by making Chrome extension metrics more accessible to everyone, enabling competitive analysis, identifying the bad actors, and help support the growth of good Chrome extensions. We help extension developers succeed by providing friendly tools to analyze extension performance in Chrome Web Store, giving developers a chance to compete in a crowded marketplace. We help users and organizations get back in controls by giving everyone more insights into the risk factors associated with each extension, allowing them to quickly identify high risk extensions at a glance.
