Page scan

Scan the current page for indicators and images, then inspect them in the side panel.

Scan page checks a bounded snapshot of the page you are reading. The results open in the Coeus side panel, where you can filter by type and choose an indicator or image to inspect. A scan does not save the page or open source tabs.

Start a scan

  • Choose Scan page beside the Tools search field.
  • Right-click empty page space and choose Scan page.
  • Use the scan-page keyboard shortcut, if it is assigned in your browser. The shortcuts page shows the current commands.

The manual scan places quiet marks on recognised text and candidate images. Use Show on page from a result to find it again; closing the scan clears its marks. Ordinary clicks on page links still belong to the website. Open a plain-text indicator from the scan list.

The optional Page suggestions setting can show possible inputs when you open the panel or change tabs. Those suggestions do not add page marks. Neither kind of scan runs a continuous trace.

What Coeus can read

Coeus looks at visible text and images available to the page reader. It can recognise common security indicators such as domains, URLs, IP addresses, hashes and CVEs. Images appear as previews when their pixels are available to the extension; some websites prevent an image from being read for QR or metadata inspection.

Scans have limits so a busy page does not stall your browser. If the coverage indicator says only part of a page was checked, some eligible content lay beyond those limits. Scanning again after the page settles may reveal newly rendered content, but it does not remove the limits. Coeus cannot inspect browser-owned pages, the built-in PDF viewer, inaccessible frames or content that has not rendered.

Inspect a result

Choose an indicator in the scan list to see its type, matching sources and relevant tools. You can open one source, or explicitly open the enabled matches in a tab group. The getting-started guide explains how to configure sources.

The scan belongs to the current page document. If the page changes, scan it again before using a result whose original text or image is no longer there.
