Third-Eye: Domain Tracker од BlazeInferno64

Introducing Third-Eye: Domain Tracker Web Extension

Third-Eye is a lightweight, privacy-focused Web Extension designed to monitor and display all outgoing network connections (hostnames) made by the active web page in real-time. It acts as a simplified network tab, giving you instant insight into the external resources and third-party domains a website is communicating with.

Status: Fully compatible with Chrome and Firefox.

✨ Features

• Real-time Tracking: Continuously monitors and updates the list of connected domains every second.
• Host Domain: Clearly shows the primary host domain of the active tab.
• Connection Count: Displays the total number of unique hostnames connected to the page.
• Full Hostname List: Lists every unique external hostname fetched by the active tab.
• Active Tab Reload: Includes a refresh button to instantly reload the active web page and start a fresh monitoring session.
• Restricted Page Handling: Gracefully handles internal browser pages (chrome://, about:, resource://) where tracking is restricted for security.

The Third-Eye icon should now appear in your browser toolbar!



💡 Usage

1. Click the Icon: Navigate to any website and click the Third-Eye icon in your browser toolbar.
2. View Hostname: The top section will display the host domain of the active tab.
3. See Connections: The "Domains Connected" count and the detailed list of hostnames will populate immediately and update every second as the page loads new resources.
4. Force Refresh: Click the sync icon (🔄) in the header to reload the active web page and start monitoring its connections from scratch.
5. Restricted Pages: If you are on an internal page (e.g., chrome:// or about:), the extension will inform you that tracking is blocked.

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Internal Pages: Due to browser security policies, network requests made on internal pages (e.g., chrome://settings, Chrome Web Store, about:config) cannot be tracked or monitored. The extension will notify you when you are on one of these pages.
• Initial Load Time: On very fast connections, some initial requests might complete before the background script is fully initialized, though this is rare.
