BrowsAlyzer

One unique feature of Spybot is it’s outstanding support for the data within browsers – not just the main ones like Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome, Opera and Firefox, but dozens of others as well. Spybot is able to do detailed scans in dozens of different browsers.

There was an older tool called BrowserCI that kind of demonstrated this, but in 2023, Safer-Networking decided to wrap this up as a useful tool for all kinds of users. BrowsAlyzer allows a variety of searches among browser data, from tracking bookmarks to pre-defined searches of interest to parents or forensics.
