Know when a Chrome extension you use gets sold
Get picks like this daily. Today's launch numbers, the top launches, AI and tech news, and a daily opportunity pick, straight to your inbox.
Extensions get sold, and the new owner's update installs silently. Extension Guardian warns you when an extension changes owner, gains permissions, disappears from the Web Store, or was installed behind your back. Free, open source, no account.
