AwEE

The AwarE Extension

AwEE AwarE Extension is a browser extension aiming to help users improve their privacy awareness by leveraging gamification principles.

Description

AwEE interactively displays the web navigation log, reporting in real-time the requests sent to known "Bad Hosts" (included in a black-list), and keeps track of them in specific statistics. It also allows users to download the browsing log in JSON format, and to visualize some of the related statistics through a dashboard. In order to improve the experience in using AwEE, users can create a profile by choosing username and avatar. The latter returns dynamic feedback based on the number of "Bad Hosts" encountered during navigation.

Quick Start

Note: Every browser extension need a proper file called manifest.json to work. This file has some specific fields that depend on the browser you use. For this reason, inside the project folder you can find two alternative versions (manifest-firefox.json, manifest-chrome.json).

Load in Chrome

Create a new file called manifest.json and copy the content of manifest-chrome.json inside it.

Or use the switch bash script:

git clone https://codeberg.org/olac/AwEE.git
cd AwEE/polyfilled
./switch-manifest.sh chrome

Then load as unpacked extension in chrome://extensions/

Load in Firefox

Create a new file called manifest.json and copy the content of manifest-firefox.json inside it.

Or use the switch bash script:

git clone https://codeberg.org/olac/AwEE.git
cd AwEE/polyfilled
./switch-manifest.sh firefox

Then load as temporary add-on in about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
