wtf is who-is-imposter?

Who Is Imposter is a Chrome extension built to help you keep track of where your personal data goes and warn you about potential scams or fake content online. The core idea is that we share information with countless websites without keeping a record, making it impossible to trace who leaked it if a data breach happens later. This tool aims to give you that log and act as a safety net while browsing. The extension works by categorizing the data you share into three tiers: most secure (like credit cards), scam-prone data (like phone numbers), and normal data (like email addresses). It keeps a minimal record of what you give to various sites so you can trace the source of a future breach. On top of that, it includes a fake news detector for Twitter that blurs tweets it suspects are 90% or more likely to be fake (you can choose to unblur them). It also has a feature that checks Google Forms for suspicious requests, like a form asking for your credit card details. This tool would be useful for anyone who feels overwhelmed by online privacy concerns but doesn't have the time to manually verify every website or social media post they encounter. For example, if you frequently fill out online forms or worry about interacting with misleading Twitter accounts, this extension adds a layer of automatic caution. It also includes a community feature where users can post warnings about specific sites, though the creator notes this feature is still glitchy. Built as a prototype in JavaScript, the project is clearly a work in progress rather than a polished commercial product. It is open to contributions from anyone who wants to fix bugs or improve the existing features.
