Chrome Extensions Detection #513

Open ilyak83 opened 8 months ago

ilyak83 commented 8 months ago

Websites can detect the presence of a Chrome extension in a user's web browser by requesting the web accessible resources specified in the extension's manifest file. This information can be used to personalize the user experience, identify potential targets for phishing attacks, or for browser fingerprinting purposes.

This tool scans the web accessible resources of the commonly used Chrome Web Store extensions, it also shows that certain extensions can still be identified despite efforts to prevent detection.
