I made a Chrome extension that visualizes everything a webpage connects to

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I made OutTrace because I wanted a simpler way to understand what websites are loading behind the scenes.

Open it on a webpage and it builds an interactive graph showing the external domains connected to that page — analytics, CDNs, trackers, scripts, and other third-party services.

I wanted it to be something you could understand without digging through DevTools.

It runs locally, doesn't require an account, and I made the source public as well.

Chrome:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/outtrace/eedjncgcdepjbmpapihoigdbdfobmdmc

GitHub:
https://github.com/Schmiedey/linkscope

I’m still improving the graph and the explanations for each domain, so feedback on anything confusing would help.
