What's new at Socket?

The Socket web extension has been completely revamped. This update improves security and expands support to PyPI, Go, and Maven ecosystems, with more to come!

The new version protects against malicious packages and commands from any website (GitHub, StackOverflow, blogs, docs, etc.), which can be configured in the settings. Socket's real-time threat detection can be displayed on any website you choose to enable.

The updated extension also displays metrics on how many threats Socket has detected. All of these new features come packaged in a reduced size with lower memory usage and faster execution. (1500x smaller, only ~0.02MB)
