Description

Privacy Test, formerly known as C&C App, is a lightweight but powerful extension for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers designed to help you verify whether your private data protection settings are enhanced and to prevent online activity tracking. It combines multiple security checks into one convenient tool, giving you greater control over your privacy and safety while browsing.

Features

  • Safe Browsing Monitor: Continuously monitors the status of Chrome's Safe Browsing feature to ensure it is active. When enabled, Safe Browsing protects you from known malicious websites, harmful extensions, and dangerous downloads. If the feature is turned off, Privacy Test alerts you so you can re-enable it promptly.
  • Manage Sideloaded Extensions: Detects and lists extensions that were installed from outside the official Chrome Web Store, often without your explicit knowledge. These sideloaded extensions can pose security risks. Privacy Test allows you to view them and remove any that you do not recognize or trust, reducing the chance of spyware or adware.
  • URL Threat Scan: With a simple click on the extension icon and selecting the scan option, Privacy Test automatically checks the current tab's URL using Safe Browsing and other security solutions. This helps identify phishing sites, malware-hosting pages, or other threats before you interact with them.
  • IP and DNS Information: Displays your public IP address as well as the IP address and DNS details of the domain you are currently visiting. This information is useful for verifying your VPN or proxy is working correctly, troubleshooting network issues, or understanding which server you are connected to.
  • Additional Privacy Tools: The extension includes extra utilities accessible from the menu, such as clearing browsing data or managing cookies, to help you maintain a cleaner and more private browsing environment.

Whether you are a privacy-conscious user, a security professional, or simply someone who wants to avoid being tracked online, Privacy Test provides essential monitoring and control features. It runs quietly in the background, only alerting you when action is needed, and gives you the tools to take charge of your online privacy.
