As part of my bachelor thesis, I developed a browser extension for Google Chrome that aims to detect and eliminate dark patterns on web pages. Currently, the extension is able to identify dark patterns in Google search results and cookie banners to improve the user experience. Additionally, the browser extension provides a community feature to report undetected Dark Patterns to further promote transparency and user experience. This work represents an important step in improving the online user experience and helps reduce misleading designs on websites.
