Keywords:

This project is being designed with the privacy preferences of the end user in mind, by creating a Google
Chrome extension that will carry out predefined tasks. The extension is being built on the core technologies of
JavaScript, HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, among others. The ultimate goal of the extension is to help users retain a
certain extent of privacy while surfing the internet. In addition to optionally clearing browser cookies and cache, the
extension is also being envisioned as one that may display data usage in the current session, so as to help the users
maintain control over their bandwidth. The motivation behind the project is to provide a simple tool for everyday
users; this tool will help even the layman user to keep tabs on his/her browsing activities.
