Used by the OpenWPM platform. This extension implements the OpenWPM instrumentation as a WebExtension. It allows users to track and monitor privacy-related browsing behavior.
npm ci
The instrumentation leverages the available JavaScript APIs for WebExtensions and listens to navigation, web requests, cookie modifications and access to certain javascript API:s, as described in the main OpenWPM project README under the following bullet points:
- HTTP Request and Response Headers, redirects, and POST request bodies
- Javascript Calls
- Response body content
- Cookie Access (Experimental)
More specifically, all packets sent by the instrumentation conform to these interfaces.
