There are two parts of this product. There is a website that lives at find.osint-tool.com and there is a browser extension. You can use each independent of each other but they also integrate nicely.
In this section we’ll look only at the browser extension. If you want to learn how to use find.osint-tool.com there’s a [section for that here], but it’s super easy to figure out - so you probably won’t need it.
Step 1 - Get the browser extension
Go to https://osint-tool.com read the amazing sale-y title and click on ‘Get the OSINT-tool Chrome extension:’
The URL for the extension is: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vortimo-osint-tool/mnakbpdnkedaegeiaoakkjafhoidklnf - you can get it there too of course. Or just can just click on the link above on this site - it’s there too.
The extension works for any Chromium based browser - this includes Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave. Basically any browser except FireFox and Safari. Who uses Safari anyhow?
Step 2 - Open any webpage
Really - any page. The extension injects code into the page, so you have to have gone to a page to make it work. We suggest the Test Cricket Wikipedia page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_cricket
Step 2 (alternative) - Open extension option page
