Browser extension

The Aurora browser extension captures light telemetry from the user’s browser without interrupting SSO or day-to-day workflows. It is the fastest way to see which AI and SaaS tools are being used and by whom.

Source code: The extension is available at aurora-identity/browser-extension. If you need access, and still don't have one, let us know while we prepare to open source it.

What it captures

  • Telemetry: Records the visited URL and HTTP method for every browser request.
  • Identity context: Creates a new identity when the extension starts so each telemetry event is tied to a user.
  • Ingest API: Sends the captured telemetry to the server via the ingest API.

Deployment and permissions

  1. Distribute via your browser management tooling (Chrome Enterprise, Intune, Jamf) with the recommended manifest.
  2. Limit permissions to the minimum needed origins and events. The extension is scoped to telemetry only and avoids content collection.
  3. Validate the rollout with a pilot group before enabling fleet-wide enforcement.
