The flagship
You did not merely build a browser extension; you apparently decided the web needed a full-time privacy customs officer, then kept updating the badge printer for years.
Roasts
The surveillance counter-surveillance
A tool for inspecting browser scope is a wonderfully recursive idea: the browser gets watched, the watcher gets watched, and somewhere a tab is requesting legal counsel.
The retired heavyweight
An archived privacy project with a substantial history: even your discontinued tools have the energy of former cabinet ministers still being quoted at conferences.
The publishing department
A dedicated extension-publishing utility suggests that shipping browser tools became such a serious operation it earned its own loading dock and clipboard.
Category breakdown
Consistency
The portfolio shows ownership spanning 2011 through 2026, with major projects receiving activity in recent years and several older projects archived. The supplied dates support sustained engagement, though not continuous maintenance acrossT
Impact
The portfolio includes a highly ambitious, widely used browser privacy blocker alongside related privacy and browser tooling. The project set is coherent and demonstrates substantial real-world usefulness and distinctive scope.
Quality
Repository metadata supports strong maturity signals: multiple substantial projects, continued updates, and a mix of active and deliberately archived work. The available metadata does not establish source-level engineering quality, tests,`n
Breadth
Work spans JavaScript-heavy browser extensions and tools, plus one PHP project and one repository with an unknown language. The project-type range is meaningful but concentrated in browser privacy and web tooling.
Depth
The long ownership history, major flagship project, related supporting tools, and continued recent activity indicate unusually sustained scope and specialization. Archived projects also suggest a substantial historical body of work.
Community
Follower and star counts provide a positive but weak tie-breaker under the rubric. The portfolio has clear public visibility, while popularity is not used to inflate the other category scores.
