About this extension
Scantide Observe helps you understand how securely and responsibly a website is set up — instantly, as you browse.

When you visit a site, Scantide Observe analyzes its security and privacy configuration in real time and presents the result as a clear, easy-to-understand score. Instead of digging through developer tools or running multiple checks manually, you get a quick overview of what’s good, what’s missing, and what might be risky.

The extension evaluates a wide range of signals, including HTTPS usage, security headers, cookie behavior, and third-party activity. It also looks at infrastructure-related indicators to give a broader picture of how a site is built and where potential risks may come from.

Results are shown in a simple visual format, with a main score, supporting details, and explanations that help you understand what each finding means. You can expand sections to dive deeper into specific areas like cookies, headers, or external connections.

Scantide Observe runs automatically in the background while you browse, with no setup required. The analysis is designed to be fast, lightweight, and easy to interpret, whether you are a regular user or someone with a more technical background.

Key features:

Real-time security and privacy analysis of the current website
Clear scoring system with easy-to-understand results
Detection of security headers and HTTPS configuration
Cookie inspection, including security attributes and third-party usage
Identification of trackers, scripts, and external connections
Infrastructure insights to highlight potential exposure or risk
Expandable details with explanations for each finding

Scantide Observe is built to make website security and privacy more transparent — giving you the context you need to decide how much you trust the sites you visit.
