The goal of this project is to build an add-on for browser that passively audits the security posture of the websites that the user is visiting. Assume that the tool is to be used on non-malicious websites, currently not under attack or compromised. Add-on wants to report security misconfigurations, or failure to use best security practices.

- strict-transport-security
- x-xss-protection
- content-security-policy
- x-frame-options
- x-content-type-options
It is available for Opera Beta and Developer browser - https://bit.ly/2TvvFw4
