What is it?
A chrome extension that highlights the requested permissions of Facebook login pop-ups.
Problem
More and more services use social logins, from which Facebook is the most used one. However since the last redesign is it not clear anymore which permissions are asked for when logging into a website. Some of the more than 100 permissions are just shown in a long string and it is hard to see what the app really asks for. The reduced transparency sets users at risk to accept permissions they otherwise would not have agreed on. This is where fbPermission helps. By clearly highlighting the requested permissions it can be seen in a few seconds if the app asks for reasonable information.
Stats
Here are some stats from one of the more recent studies about the impact of fb-login:
92% report having left a website when they’ve forgotten their username or password.
87% of consumers are aware of social login, and more than half have tried it.
Facebook login is the most used social login with 45% world wide.
Goals
Transparency: Make it easy and intuitive to see requested permissions.
Understandable: Offer a tooltip to every requested permission.
Customization: Supports full tailoring to meet your needs.
privacy: It's self contained, no data is sent to 3rd parties.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
