Documentation

Everything you need to get started and use Webbed effectively.

🔧 Installation

Webbed is a free browser extension designed for Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers. To install, simply visit the Chrome Web Store, search for “Webbed | Client-Side Script Security Inspector,” and click Add to Chrome. Once installed, the extension will appear in your browser toolbar.

🛡 How Webbed Works

After installation, Webbed quietly runs in the background while you browse the web. It checks each website you visit in real time by:

  • Analyzing all scripts loaded on the page — both inline scripts and external files
  • Checking for unsafe coding practices like eval() or unfiltered innerHTML
  • Verifying the presence of security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options)
  • Flagging pages that are not served over HTTPS when scanned
  • Provides the number of security risks instantly after scanning

📄 Understanding the Report

When you choose to scan a website from the extension popup, Webbed creates a detailed report that includes:

  • Severity Score – A number and color indicator showing overall risk level (Green = Low, Orange = Medium, Red = High)
  • Types of Issues – Whether the problem is a missing header, an insecure script source, an unsafe code pattern, or mixed content
  • Vulnerability Count – The total number of issues detected on the page
  • Script Summary – A breakdown of how many scripts are inline versus externally loaded
  • Export Option – Save the report as a PDF for reference or sharing

⚙️ Settings

The extension popup allows you to customize Webbed to suit your needs:

  • Blacklist Domains – Always block scripts from certain sites
  • Dark Mode – Enable a darker interface for comfort

❓ FAQ

  • Does Webbed store my data? No. All scanning is performed locally on your computer — nothing is sent to external servers.
  • Will it slow down my browsing? No. Webbed is designed to scan efficiently and has minimal performance impact.
  • Can I export reports? Yes. You can save any scan result as a PDF directly from the popup.
  • Do I need technical knowledge? Not at all. Webbed gives you clear results in plain language.
