ChromeStats

Chrome-Stats, Edge-Stats, and Firefox-Stats are pivotal tools designed to enhance the browser extension ecosystem, addressing critical concerns for users, organizations, and developers alike. Established in October 2020, Chrome-Stats aims to make extension metrics accessible, providing insights that empower users to identify safe, high-quality extensions while safeguarding against malicious ones. This platform not only facilitates competitive analysis for developers but also helps in the sustainable growth of beneficial Chrome extensions.

Recognizing the similar needs within the Edge and Firefox communities, the services expanded in 2022 to include Edge-Stats and Firefox-Stats. These platforms deliver comparable insights, fostering transparency and security across all major browsers. Through daily data crawls of the Chrome Web Store, along with comprehensive analytics, these tools track extension performance, highlight suspicious activities, and offer detailed insights into potential risks associated with various extensions.

By making critical data publicly available and offering advanced subscription services, these initiatives strive to restore control to users while supporting developers in a competitive landscape.
