The idea for this extension came from Episode 141 of Darknet Diaries when, toward the end of the interview, the host Jack says:
"At a bare minimum, just show me a big, bright red banner on the e-mail that says, look out, this e-mail comes from a domain that was registered two days ago. That would be really cool."
If you are interested in testing the dbec extension in its current form, you can follow these steps:
- Fork or clone this repo onto your local machine
- In Firefox: Open the about:debugging page
- click the "This Firefox" option
- click the "Load Temporary Add-on" button
- then select any file in the
dbecextension directory
The extension now installs, and remains installed until you restart Firefox.
