Shield by ThirdPillar: A Privacy-Focused Chrome Extension
Shield by ThirdPillar is a Chrome extension aimed at enhancing user privacy in the emerging Web 3.0 landscape. The primary objective is to test browser capabilities for handling encryption and managing encrypted data. This tool allows users to control what information they share, as it encrypts data in forms or requests based on user preferences, offering a secure way to interact with applications and other users.
Currently, the extension is designed to integrate with applications developed by The Third Pillar, specifically Identity and Gigs. This initiative envisions a future where users can create a validated internet identity, facilitating easier login and signup processes for various applications while maintaining privacy. Although still in the early stages of development, Shield presents a promising step toward a more secure digital experience.
