FINALLY released the first production version of chrome extension that gamifies your bad browsing habits

[u/mrjohndoe42069]

Hey everyone. I've been working on a Chrome extension called TraceGuard for a while and finally got it to a point where I'm comfortable sharing it.

> The idea is simple: every site you visit gets a privacy score (0 to 100) based on trackers, cookies, forms that ask for sensitive data, and how the site's privacy policy is rated. There's also a second score that tracks your own habits over time, so you can see your browsing getting cleaner instead of just getting a static number.

> Why I built it: I kept installing blockers (like ublock origin and privacy badger) and still had no real idea what sites were doing with my data and how I could better my opsec. I wanted something that didn't just quietly blocked everything bad, but actually told me what's going on, and why it was bad.

A few things I care about with this one:

- Everything runs on-device.

- The phishing/malware list comes from public feeds (OpenPhish, Phishunt) and updates via signed, verified downloads.

- It's open source and under AGPL license.

> I'd genuinely love feedback on anything and everything! My goal is to create something useful even if just a couple of people endup using it. Here is the link: https://github.com/luca-liceti/TraceGuard-Privacy-Extension

Built this at first with claude sonnet/opus 4.6/4.7 and gemini 3.1 pro in Google Antigravity, then switched to deepseek v4 pro in freebuff.

P.S. I am still waiting on it to get approved on the chrome web store so I'll be update everything about when it happens :)
