1. Select your crypto wallet address text on any website
2. Right-click and select Crypto Address Visualizer
3. Repeat across websites and compare images and checksums to ensure addresses are the same
When comparing visualizations, everything should be identical, though hosts can be different if the addresses are on different websites.
The following steps have been taken to maximize privacy and security when using Crypto Address Visualizer:
-
This extension is fully open source
The full source code for this extension is available in the crypto-address-visualizer repository.
-
This extension cannot make external requests
Due to a very strict content security policy, this extension cannot make external requests, so it cannot send information to or receive information from any external service. See
content_security_policy
in manifest.json. -
This extension only requires one single permission
Browser extensions must declare all permissions necessary to function. This extension only requires the contextMenus permission, meaning its scope and capabilities are extremely limited. See
permissions
in manifest.json. -
This extension cannot read or edit content on any page
Related to the previous point, due to permissions limitations, this extension cannot read or edit content on any page you visit. It has no access to your user profile or any of your personal data, public or private. It has no access to your clipboard.
It only has access to the text you select and provide to it through the context menu.

This extension does not import any external assets at runtime
All assets (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images) are packaged and included with the extension at the time of publishing. No external assets are requested or included at runtime.
