Watchtower is a browser extension that adds informational tags to users on internet platforms through custom, auto-updatable lists created and curated by the community. Lists can be made for any topic or goal. Users are tracked by ID wherever possible. Watchtower works on all modern browsers at least chrome.
This project is still in pre-release and available for testing and feedback only.

Currently, you need to enable developer mode and load the extension unpacked from a folder.
You also require an up to date browser (early 2024) as the code relies on recent APIs.
