New Chrome extension ‘Under New Management’ checks other extensions periodically and displays a warning when change of ownership is detected.
You must log in or register to comment.
Does it also detect when an extension developer makes a deal with the robot devil, or only when an ambidextrous developer swaps between their right-handed and left-handed mice?
It checks the information provided on the Chrome Web Store directly, so once the Google account of the owner changes it will detect it.
Who checks if the checker changes hands?
It checks the information provided on the Chrome Web Store directly, so it applies to this extension too (unless you build it from source). And the extension is open source, so you can check that there is no exception built it.
