Code Verify: Verify Authenticity of Web-Based Client Applications

'Code Verify' is an Edge add-on designed to authenticate the web-based implementations of apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. By alerting users when the web version of their client has been modified or is inauthentic, it provides an important layer of online security. It works by comparing the Javascript code of the web app with the original code posted on Cloudflare. This open-source extension helps to maintain binary transparency on the web. Updates are also made in real-time, ensuring users are always running the same version as others.

I think it is not working properly right now. I installed it both from Chrome web store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons store and it shows red alert in both. I also disabled all the other extentions in case they are interfering with this extension but no, it still shows the red alert. I also tried it on Chrome thinking it is browser specific problem but it is same there as well.
