🔒 Ensure the Security of Your Extensions

The topic of extension originality and their identifiers has been especially relevant recently. Learn how to ensure everything works safely — details below!

1️⃣ Let’s start with the basics. Extensions in the browser can be installed in two ways:

— Within the browser profile: In this case, the extension ID consists of 32 characters and matches the identifier found in the Chrome Web Store. It can be found at the path: AppData\Roaming\dolphin anty\browser_profiles\PROFILE_ID\Default\extensions
— Through the "Extensions" section: In this case, the ID consists of 40 characters, differs from the ID in the Chrome Web Store, but the "Extensions" folder in AppData\Roaming\dolphin anty\extensions will match the link from the Chrome Web Store

2️⃣ While the first method (inside the browser profile) is straightforward, the second might raise questions —> Why is the extension ID different? What causes the difference?

⚙️ Here’s the explanation! Every extension has a unique identifier, which you can find as follows:

— Open the extension page in the Chrome Web Store and locate its unique identifier in the URL. For example, for MetaMask:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/metamask/nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn

The unique identifier is this part: nkbihfbeogaeaoehlefnkodbefgpgknn

— Next, check the identifier visible in the extension settings or in the link of the opened extension in Dolphin{anty}. However, it might differ due to the locally installed or unpacked version of the extension. In this case, it’s located in the folder: AppData\Roaming\dolphin anty\extensions

Now you know how to identify the actual extension ID and why the ID in the antidetect settings might differ. So how can you ensure it’s the correct extension and that it’s secure?

💡 The key: This can be verified using the source data. If the identifier in the SOURCE matches the official one from the Chrome Web Store, you can be confident in the extension’s security. In this case, the "Extensions" folder will correspond to the Chrome Store link. Rest assured, they always match — here’s why.

3️⃣ What we do to ensure your data’s security:

— P.S. regarding to why. All extensions are installed and updated ONLY with the latest versions from the official Chrome Web Store. We don’t have any intermediate extension stores. The entire process relies on the official store, as detailed above.
— Tampering with or compromising extensions is impossible without direct access to the database.
— All data is encrypted, and without wallet passwords, accessing funds is impossible.
— When a profile is deleted, extension data (cookies, cache, etc.) is archived and encrypted. Without wallet passwords, this data is useless. Passwords are never stored by us.
— Archived data is stored for 45 days to allow users to restore information if necessary. After this period, all data, including cookies, cache, and extension data, is permanently deleted, even in encrypted form.

⚡ Plans for the near future:

We are working on a feature that allows for the complete deletion of data upon request, without contacting support. There will also be an option for local data storage without the cloud on all plans.

✔️ In summary: The security of your data is NOT just words for us. It’s our top priority! All extensions in Dolphin{anty} interact ONLY with the official Chrome store. Tampering with them or accessing your data is impossible. You can independently verify the originality of extensions and ensure everything works as it should. Keep working with complete peace of mind!
