Allows WebExtensions to track and monitor privacy-related browsing behavior
This package is yet to be published to npm, but can be installed directly from Github as follows:
npm install --save mozilla/openwpm-webext-instrumentation
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)
