8. Vulners Web Scanner – Another widely known extension in narrow pentester circles. On-the-fly website vulnerability scanner. Naturally, it cannot be compared with Burp Suite in terms of functionality, but no, no, it will find useful information. Uses vulners.com as a database of vulnerabilities

Now consider just useful utilities.
9. Magnifying glass How often do you encounter small print when browsing websites? Of course, you can just zoom in on the image, but you can use the extension. To whom it is more convenient, everyone decides for himself.
BUT! Every self-respecting detective should have navel magnifier. Accordingly, what time, such a magnifying glass)

10. Hunchly 2.0 – a utility for capturing and analyzing website content. Besides the fact that it simply captures the data of visited sites, it also organizes them in a dashboard. In OSINT work, sometimes it is simply irreplaceable and saves a lot of time.

11.Extensity – extension manager. Allows you to quickly enable and disable browser extensions. If you use more than 5 browser extensions, then their management is already problematic, and if you also need to turn them on, turn off, reconfigure in the process of work, then this is generally a total nightmare.

12.Extension Manager – another extension manager. More beautiful design.

Safety
And finally, we have the Security category.
13. Vytal – even if you use a VPN, your browser can still give out your real location. This extension replaces such parameters as: the time zone (timezone), the language used in the browser (locale), geolocation and the user agent of the browser. This will hide your real location even more, even when using a VPN.
