Paranoia Mode is a Chrome extension that shows you how much of your data is being tracked—in real-time—as you browse the web. Inspired by horror game UIs, it visualizes cookies, fingerprinting attempts, and third-party trackers for each website you visit.
- 🍪 Cookie Tracking: Counts and displays cookies set by websites.
- 👀 Third-Party Trackers: Detects third-party domains attempting to collect data.
- 🧠 Fingerprinting Attempts: Monitors JavaScript behavior for fingerprinting.
- Live Dashboard: Realtime updates displayed through a browser popup.
Because the web is watching you—and you should see how. This extension brings visibility to hidden tracking mechanisms in an immersive, game-like way.
