## What it does

This extension includes:

* A content script, "exodify.js" for the play store, that will fetch from exodus REST API the number of trackers in the application and then modify the page to show it.

* A content script, "exodify-sub.js" for Exodus Privacy submit page, that auto fills the search bar with the application ID.

* A browser action, with a popup ("popup/") that shows the trackers name 

* A background script that is used to update the toolbar icon number badge

## What it shows

* Displays the number of trackers of an app when you visit the detail page of this app, and will display the number of trackers on alternative apps.

* When visiting the 'my apps' page or doing a search, the plugin will decorate all applications on screen with trackers info

* Add direct link to the full report on Exodus Privacy.

* Use toolbar button to get more info about trackers and some statistics, with individual link for each tracker.

## How to install from sources

### Automated build

Requirement: [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org) and [Grunt](https://gruntjs.com/getting-started)

Create a config.json file in the base folder (along side gruntfile.js) and add your api token like this:

```json

{

	"apiToken" : "Token "

}

```

Then Run:

```bash

> npm install

> npm run package

```

You will find the packed and unpacked extentions in the `dest/` folder.

### Manual Install

Download the `sources/` folder.

Edit the `sources/ep-api.js` and replace the `@@API_TOKEN` with your exodify api token (contact them to get one)

In Firefox type about:addons in the URL and click on the wheel icon and 'Install Add-On From File...' and select the manifest.json file in the source folder.

In chrome, type chrome://extensions/ and then 'Load Unpacked' and point to the 'source' folder.
