Spy Extensions Blocker

Overview

Spy Extensions Blocker is a powerful security layer designed to automatically detect and block visitors who are using "spy extensions" in their web browsers.

These extensions are commonly used by competitors to analyze your store, steal product ideas, discover your suppliers, or copy your advertising strategies. Some well-known examples include Alihunter, PPSpy, and Minea, etc.



Benefits of Using This Feature
  • Protect Your Intellectual Property: Prevent competitors from easily copying your winning products, product descriptions, and business strategies.
  • Maintain Your Competitive Edge: Keep the unique elements that make your store successful a secret.
  • Reduce the Risk of Cloning: Limit the ability of other stores to duplicate your entire business model.



How to Enable and Use

Step 1: Navigate to Settings

From the app's dashboard, go to Settings and select the Mitigator tab from the left-hand menu.


Step 2: Activate the Feature

Scroll down to the Spy extensions blocker section. You will see a toggle switch on the right.

  • To turn on the feature, click the toggle switch so it displays On.
  • To turn off the feature, simply click the toggle switch again.


Once enabled, the system will automatically block any visitor detected using a spy extension from our monitored list.
