Browser Extension

The Bigeye browser extension surfaces data quality information directly in the side panel of the browser for supported websites. Use the browser extension to ensure that business critical dashboards are using data that is actively monitored and guaranteed of high quality before making any decisions off of that underlying data. This extension automatically finds matching Bigeye resources as you browse in the web of supported websites and displays all of the data quality information in the side panel of your browser. When using Bigeye's extension in a supported tool, it will only read the page title and URL of your browser tab.
