Buying browser extensions for fun and profit
An investigation into buying access to browsers through extensions

Just released to all users... Monitoring!
Monitoring was built to notify teams when a browser extension's disposition changes. Aspects like ownership swaps, version updates, analysis verdict, web store visibility, and more to come!
