data-leak

A Browser Extension to help detect potentially unsafe data leaving the browser. Including ...

• A webRequest listener version of CLIQZ code for detecting potentially unsafe data leaving the browser.
• A content script version of OpenWPM and Privacy Badger code for detecting which APIs are being used ... for fingerprinting.
• A browserAction for displaying all of the above.

This extension simply detects and logs network and API data - it does not store anything in a database. If you need all that good stuff, you should really look into OpenWPM - it's good people.

Run it

You should really use the web-ext tool - it's great. After you've installed it globally ...

cd data-leak
npm install
npm run build
web-ext run -s src

In the Firefox browser that opens:

1. Open the Web Console tool
2. Navigate to any page
3. Observe the "Successfully started all instrumentation." line

You should also see lots of output in the format: type: logCall ; msg: <Object> ; msg.value:
