@thomik-corp does this mean that the website doesn't react (without a refresh)?

If so yes this is difficult because the browser doesn't really get a reliable message, the only two approaches I know of are:

  1. there are some tricks we can do with CSS that will allow us to detect on the site if the extension is unloaded
  2. the extension can open a URL on uninstall, that we could handle on the backend to update the user's account (which the website could then react to)

I think (2) is going to be easier to understand and implement, and we want some backend handling of uninstalls for analytics anyway.
