Malext Sentry

Malicious chromium extensions

What it does

I noticed a dangerous gap: when a Chrome extension is pulled for malware, there is no real-time public database tracking it. Users often keep malicious code running for weeks without knowing. I automated the solution. Malext Sentry monitors the ecosystem for official removals and researcher reports. Dashboard: Daily updates at malext.toborrm.com Sentry Ext: Local auditing Open Source: github.com/toborrm9/malicious_extension_sentry

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
