Description

This plugin is early beta and has limited data, however as our database of dark patterns grow you will be able to view what dark patterns may exist on the websites you browse.

What is a dark pattern?
Dark patterns are when websites and products hide beneficial features for users that may not be so beneficial to the business or use tricky language and imagery to force a user to take or not take an action. Some examples include:

Causing problems when people want to unsubscribe from a newsletter
Hiding registration options so people feel the only way to register is through social media
Showing pricing in an unclear way to get users to go towards a specific package (that may not necessarily be the best package)

In other words, arguably unethical trickery on the end users to gain something, whether intentional or not.

What has inspired us?

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!
