As a user of Chrome extensions, I face the problem that they can potentially pose security risks, including hidden threats such as data theft, security breaches, and malware. The challenge is to effectively analyze the webstore data associated with my extensions for these risks. This involves evaluating various factors such as requests for permissions, content security policies, and the use of third-party libraries. In addition, I need a solution that helps me determine an overall risk value for each of my extensions to ensure that my browsing experience always remains safe. Therefore, a robust tool is required that can automatically perform this analysis and provide me with the desired information.
