What's new at Socket?

We made some major improvements to our web extension based on user feedback. The UI has been polished to provide a more intuitive and user-friendly experience, making it easier to navigate security metrics while browsing the web.

This update includes the following bug fixes and enhancements:

• Filtered invalid package names in order to reduce unnecessary API calls
• Improved style robustness and reduce risks of it being overloaded by CSS resets
• Added reset button to popup to reset stats
• Handled Gem PURL enhancements
• Fixed a regression where SPA and links to package weren't handled correctly (e.g. https://www.npmjs.com/package/express clicking on Dependents tab doesn't scan packages listed but it should)
• Refactored into multiple files as the main file was starting to get too big and to prepare for more features
• Fixed popover position on https://rubygems.org/search?query=rails

Check out the Socket Web Extension docs for more details on its capabilities and permissions. We also have a guide for organizations that are interested in deploying the the extension via Google Workspace.
