Under New Management

Detect when your extensions have changed owners

Intermittenty checks your installed extensions to see if the developer information listed on the Chrome Web Store has changed. If anything is different, the extension icon will display a red badge, alerting you to the change.

Why is this needed?

Extension developers are constantly getting offers to buy their extensions. In nearly every case, the people buying these extensions want to rip off the existing users.

The users of these extensions have no idea an installed extension has changed hands, and may now be compromised.

Under New Management gives users notice of the change of ownership, giving them a chance to make an informed decision about the software they're using.

Installation

Install here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/under-new-management/jppepdecgemgbgnjnnfjcmanlleioikj

OR

Download a prebuilt release, unpack the .zip file, and load the dist directory into Chrome.

Building from source

Under New Management uses Parcel, React, Typescript, and TailwindCSS

yarn install to install dependencies

yarn start to run locally

yarn build to build a release

Why does this need an external server?

Browsers have special rules about modifying extension marketplace domains. For example, you cannot set declarative_net_request rules for chromewebstore.google.com. Therefore, this extension delegates the developer info checking to the ExBoost API server.
