A browser extension is a small software add-on that attaches to a web browser to add features or change how websites behave, similar to snapping a new tool onto an existing toolkit. For investors it matters because extensions can drive user growth, engagement and direct revenue or data collection, but they also introduce security, privacy and compliance risks that can affect a company's reputation and regulatory exposure.
