PUBLIC PRIVACY RESEARCH · Workflow idea

Make a large list of browser add-ons easier to investigate.

Prepare a research list of browser add-ons mentioned in public materials and gather relevant public references for a researcher to examine. Keep each claim connected to its source, distinguish an observation from a confirmed tracking practice, and require a person to check the evidence before findings are shared or published.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A research list and public information gathered for an approved privacy inquiry

“Organize the selected extension identifiers and public search findings into a source-linked research list, then have a researcher verify the evidence and wording before reporting any conclusion.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps privacy researchers organize information about browser add-ons and investigate what public sources say about them.

  1. Define the research question and scope

    State which browser add-ons and public claims are being investigated and why the inquiry is appropriate.

  2. Gather permitted public references

    Use sources available for the approved research purpose, respect their access conditions, and avoid collecting personal information about individual users.

  3. Organize extension details and source links

    Keep each extension identifier, possible name, and relevant public reference together so a researcher can trace the result.

  4. Verify matches and claims

    Have a researcher confirm that a reference concerns the same extension, is current, and supports the specific claim being considered.

  5. Approve careful public reporting

    Ask a researcher and editor to check evidence, limitations, and wording before publishing or sharing conclusions.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A reviewable extension list with public references and unresolved claims clearly marked for human research.

The handoff

A reviewable extension list with public references and unresolved claims clearly marked for human research.

Keep in mind

Search results and third-party claims may be inaccurate, outdated, or unrelated to the extension in question. Use only sources the researcher is permitted to consult, respect site rules and privacy expectations, verify each match against reliable evidence, and avoid claiming that an organization tracks an extension unless a person confirms it. An editor must approve any public findings.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document the approved research purpose

Record the question, responsible researcher, intended audience, and boundaries for the investigation.

Choose permitted sources and data limits

Identify public sources that may be consulted, follow their terms, and exclude private or unnecessary personal data.

Set evidence and publication standards

Decide what counts as a verified match, how uncertainty is presented, and who approves external claims.

Review false matches and missing evidence

Test a clear match, an unrelated result, and a claim with no reliable support to ensure uncertain items remain unconfirmed.

Put your next idea to work.

Start with your brief. Make the process your own.
